Where Would You Want To Live Desert, Prairie, Water Or Mountains?

When people are asked where want to live; a common answer would be Colorado. For many people, the mountains are the place to live. Telluride is a great city for Colorado living.

There are actually four types of people in the United States: mountain people, desert people, prairie people, and water people. Each of these groups feels the most joy in their particular area. We will look at my particular favorite last.

The desert is a favorite environment for many people. These people love the heat, dryness, and sunshine of the desert. The vistas have a special uniqueness that is not seen anywhere else. They range from the highs of the rocky Painted Desert to the depths of Death Valley. While other areas get their hues from the lush vegetation and lakes; the desert has the broad range of colors that include every shade of brown, with many yellows, reds, grays and even blues. Many people spend time in the desert because it stimulates their creativity and they find their spiritual selves there.

The prairie is the preference of another group. However, it is a national tragedy that large portions of the prairie no longer exist. The land is flat, allowing the vista to spread over a long distance. One time I was in the second story of a building in Central Illinois and thought I could see my home in Ohio in the distance. Today, the prairie lands consist mostly of modern American cities and corn and wheat fields.

Water provides a great number of activities. The main attraction is the beach, whether it is on the salty ocean or at the edge of a fresh lake. Beaches bring out our indolence. We relax under the sun to bake out our knots and cares. But fun on the water can be quiet or noisy. The boat can go slowly for relaxation and fishing or fast for water skiing and jet-skiing.

Finally, let us look at the mountain person. What is the attraction of the mountains, particularly the Rockies? For outdoorsy people, the mountains are a great place to be. There is so much to do in every season. The most obvious is cold weather fun.Yes. A lot of snow falls on the mountains in the winter. And if the winter does not live up to its agreement about its snow delivery, the resorts can fall back on their artificial snow. Snow lovers have a large choice of fun things to do. There are skiing and snowboarding on the mountain sides. But if you are not a skier, there are other vehicles for sliding down the hill, such as sleds, “tubes,” and toboggans. On flatter ground there are different things to do. If you like to ski, there is always cross-country skiing. If not, you can hike wearing snowshoes. At this point it should be obvious that I lean toward the fun to be had in the winter season.
