4 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 take you to some breathtaking Telluride Colorado Real Estate. But an argument can be made for each of the four countrysides.
The Rocky Mountains around Telluride have much to offer, no matter what the season. Summer is the verdant season. With the leaves in the full glory of their green and the sky its heart-stopping blue, the visitor can breathe deeply and replace the stifling dry 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 to be explored. In the villages the visitor can find shops to explore and restaurants for tasting. In the mountains you’ll find great opportunities for hiking and exploring the slopes and valleys. Bring a camera to capture the beauty. But don’t forget winter. If you’re a snow lover, you’ll find plenty here. In fact, winter is the best time to be outdoors in the mountains.
Water people will argue with the mountain people that their land is superior. Water people would say that they also have green leaves and azure sky, but have the added beauty of the water. Whether the salt water of the ocean 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. Armed with a thick coating of sun block, the waterbaby can bake out the troubles. Then into the water with the trusty floaty to play in the waves. The Northern winter is as good as in the mountains. Do you ice skate? The lakes will freeze. Do you want to play in the wintery woods? Borrow a snowmobile and zoom away 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, to name a few. 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 is the open prairie. From the second floor 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 beauty of the desert. The dark of the night reveals the black of the sky and the depth of the universe. Where else can you see the glory of the infinite stars and all the galaxies? Where else can you gaze at the stars and commune with the spirits of the ancients? During the daylight, the adventurous 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? Spend a vacation in all of them. Spendtime in each.
