Our summers are dry and generally breezy, making even the hottest temperatures bearable.
The spring is always beautiful
and the fall is ablaze in beautiful hues of yellow as aspens and cottonwoods prepare for the winter.
Ours is a high desert climate. For those who have pets, our climate and elevation is not conducive to fleas.
