I also live in Denver. 5 years ago we purchased a place near Estes Park, thinking that would stay cooler and be a good retirement option (still maybe 5 years out). The fires last year got within 2.5 miles (in two directions) of our property, and we are now re-thinking that decision…with urgency!
It’s sad. Denver’s a great city with great people, and Colorado has a lot going for it (at the moment) but if we can’t count on our little spot being there in a few years, we may have to find another one. We’re fortunate that we can probably do that. Most can’t!
