Paonia, Colorado–a popular town for recreation, hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, mountain biking

Paonia is a small town of about 1,600 people, tucked up against the West Elk Mountains on the Western Slope. There is a vast expanse of public lands accessible within just minutes of walking out the door of this Paonia home, which is situated on the east end of town. A popular destination for mountain biking is Jumbo Mountain, which is only a couple of miles east of this home. The network of trails provide a challenge for any mountain biker.

Aspen, Crested Butte, and Telluride are each about two hours distant for world-class skiing.
