Far from the glistening shores a wave has broken in our valley. It is a wave of folks that have come here to play and enjoy what we in the Upper Arkansas experience daily. The Collegiate Peaks bike race was yesterday with some mountain biking today. The river is full of rafters and kayakers getting ready for Paddle Fest next weekend…a big kickoff for the white-water season. There are already campers along North Cottonwood Creek and Cottonwood Pass will open this week, allowing easier access to the very high country. Daytime temperatures are hitting the 70s, lows in the 30s, the trees and flowers are out, the sky is blue and there is still snow in the mountains.
For those of us in real estate, we know that mixed in with the weekend warriors are buyers, deciding that they might as well live where they play…or at least have a second home here. There are many places in the country I have not visited, but I have never been anywhere that offers a bigger variety of outdoor adventures on a year around basis. If you are done with adventure, this is also a great place to sit, so if you can’t live here, at least pay us a visit. If you decide to check us out, I’d be happy to assist!
