Anyone know anything about Canyon City, CO (Canon City, CO)?

I might be going there and would like to know more about it.

Many thanks.

1. I used to live not far from there . . .

Almost all of Colorado's old town are cool. But here's something peculiar about Canon City:

2. Great Water Rafting class 5,but not in the fall

Major Prison town for Colorado,
great river, follow the road up the river to the High Country.

Where the hot springs flow,.

3. a tiny bit

there is a prison there.

It's in a pretty part of the state; up in the mountains.

Not far from Park county; might be in Park county. That's more-or-less the setting for South park, which is a favorite of many people on this board.

4. Are you going to the pen?

I lived in Colorado for the first 18 yrs of my life, and that's all I can tell you about it.

5. No..lol

Might have a job offer there, and thinking about moving there and curious as to what people's impressions are.


Oh and many thanks to those who have (or will..hopefully) weigh-in.

It looks like a nice place to live, very different than the DC I am used to, but such a change would be welcome.

Not to mention cheaper!

6. The mountains are like the oceans

when things get bad, in the winter your politics and religion have no meaning

The mountains teach you as much as the sea.

The highest bridge over a canyon is right up the road in US
Royal Gorge., and then you still climb until you reach
the continental divide.
and then you decide.

what part of the liquid you come from
the Atlantic or the Pacific.
