I live in Colorado Springs and go to Denver alot. Its very pretty. You can see the mountains all the way from denver to pueblo,but yes there is alot of plains too.
I love Colorado Springs,Denver,Castle Rock,and all the mountainess areas such as Glenwood Springs,Aspen(my favorite city),and many more. You'll meet new friends,trust me! ;]
I was born here in the Springs,moved to the Azores which are tiny islands off the coast of portugul,Valdosta,Georgia,and then back up here. Its not easy but,meeting new people in new towns is something youre gonna have to do sooner or later.
It'll be ok though! I hope you like it here

I just hate winter XD thats why i want to move to orlando when im done with all my schooling,besides the fact i want to work in Disneyworld but anywho,yah colorado is pretty neat.
DrewTheWolf lives in denver to right now I believe so you may wanna ask her her input since shes a bit new to living here too. ;]
