Moving from Colorado to Alaska

Colorado’s crowded ski slopes and rising tourism that disrupts local life push some residents to seek true wilderness experiences. Alaska delivers unparalleled outdoor recreational opportunities that dwarf Colorado’s increasingly commercialized mountains, breathtaking natural beauty that remains largely untouched by development, and strong job market in oil, fishing, and government sectors. The Last Frontier’s vast open spaces and genuine frontier spirit appeal to Coloradans who remember when their state offered similar qualities before becoming another victim of its own popularity.
