Just ruined Bailey for us!!!
Quote: Where to Go: Bailey, Colorado Why: “Colorado locals like me know the truth: Sometimes, you’ll get stuck in crazy-making, Los Angeles-worthy traffic on 1-70 for hours just trying to get into the mountains for a ski day or alpine hiking adventure,” says Kathryn O’Shea-Evans. But O’Shea-Evans and her husband recently discovered a dreamy alternative far from the madding crowds: Bailey, Colorado. “It’s an easy one hour drive from downtown Denver on Highway 285 and chockablock with so many mountain thrills that it feels like you’re in an undiscovered corner of Europe,” says O’Shea-Evans. https://www.forbes.com/sites/laurabegle ... 1ny_Pr_LqU _________________ Everybody needs a rainbow in their life!!!

Top 20 in the US? Uh - No.
No traffic jams?  So a rich person buys a home, turns it into a STR for rich people and now want to get free advertising and encourage people to visit.

I'm wondering now if the other 19 locations were just rental ads too?
but not enough to go back and read the rest of the article! |

Self-serving dirt pimps even included the link for their Bailey airbnb
 Wonder who they know at Forbes. They don't live here, but they kindly advertised the highway, aww thanks. Yup, we love our scenic vistas during the crawl.Uninvested pass-through transient tourists as rental neighbors are hardly desirable, along with vacation owners who can run for county board/HOA/covenant seats & influence an area's direction when they don't have to experience day-to-day living here. Used to be a new homeowner quirk, but vacation renters also find comfort in leaving outside lights on all night because scary dark skies  The sign on the county line says that Park County is zoned, so if this unfortunate trend continues hopefully everyone is paying sales tax & short-term rental tax. And if that meant more $ for first responders & housing for them, wouldn't that be something

They are renting their place for over $400 a night (2 night minimum, plus cleaning), and are booked most of the summer. I'm just guessing that people that can drop $1,000 for a weekend are likely spending money in town, even if they are "Uninvested pass-through transient tourists"

I'm just wondering how exceptionally fast they are speeding to get from Bailey to "downtown Denver" in only 60 minutes??? The drive is a whole lot longer than that when one actually follows the posted speed limits.

The drive is a whole lot longer than that when one actually follows the posted speed limits. 60 minutes is quite reasonable. Very few follow the posted speed limits, but just 5-10 over will definitely get you there without traffic delays. I bet its doable right now. |
