Four Kinds of Vacationers

It has been said that there are four kinds of people: mountain people, water people, prairie people, and desert people. If you ask any Telluride Real Estate Agent, she will tell you mountain is number one. To prove her point, she will show you some breathtaking Telluride Colorado Real Estate. But we can make an argument for each of the four landscapes.

The rugged countryside around Telluride has much to offer, no matter what time of year. Summer is the green time. With the foliage in the full beauty of their verdure and the sky its heart-stopping blue, the visitor can breathe deeply and replace the close, dead air of the cubicle with God’s fresh breath. When just breathing becomes boring, other activities clamor to fill the time. The mountains are dotted with charming, historic villages ready for exploration. In the villages the visitor can find interesting shops and restaurants with intriguing menus. In the mountains you’ll find great opportunities for hiking and exploring the slopes and valleys. You’ll want to have a camera handy to capture the beauty. But there’s always winter. If you’re a snow lover, you’ll find plenty here. In fact, winter is a favorite time to be outdoors in the mountains.

Water people will argue with the mountain people that their land is superior. Water people argue that they also have green leaves and azure sky, but have the added beauty of the water. Whether the salt water of the sea or the fresh water of a lake, water launders the cares of the soul. The beach can be packed tightly or a solitary place. No matter. Buttered up with a thick coating of sun block, the sunbather can bake out the troubles. Then into the water with the trusty floaty to play in the waves. Winter in the North is equal to the mountains. Do you ice skate? Try it on a frozen lake.. Do you want to explore the wintery woods? Borrow a snowmobile and take off into the cold, snowy wilderness.

Prairie people prefer the wide-open spaces of the Old West. So many cosmopolitan cities in the Prairie States: Minneapolis, St. Louis, Kansas City, among others. These cities are not New York or San Francisco, but instead they are cities with their own unique character full of friendly Midwesterners. Outside the cities are the open spaces. From the second story of an office building in a small town in Illinois, you’ll think you can see as far as Missouri. And between here and there, corn in every direction.

But, ah, the mystique of the desert. The dark of the night brings out the black of the sky and the infinity of the universe. Where else can you see the glory of the infinite stars and all the galaxies? Where else can you sit under these stars and commune with the spirits of the ancients? During the daylight, the desert traveler can explore the relics of these ancients and the culture of the living descendants.

Which type of person are you? Mountain? Water? Prairie? Desert? Can’t choose? Visit all of them. Spendtime in each.
