Denver, Colorado Options

[Oasis]

I know a few people have lived/visited there. I haven't been to Denver since I was a kid and don't remember anything about it.

What's it like?
Fun place to live?
How are the property values?
Traffic?
What is there to do? And I'm not talking about places to get drunk, I'm talking about places to hike, museums, restaurants, etc.

I'm looking for honest opinions, not "I went there for three days last winter and it sucked." Reason I'm asking is cause I might be moving there soon

Oh, and where Denver is flat (kinda) is by the airport, but that's because it's the plains, just like Lubbock.

Then you get rolling hills as you move in from the airport (notice the snow breaks?), then you hit the mountains.

I like the Denver airport, it's designed well (except for security) and is comfortable. I flew into Stapleton once while it was still around and it was crap compared to the new one.

I've heard rumors that the airport will be adding a few more runways at some point and probably another terminal.

cmac, what's up with the haze lately? Is that normal? I figured it was a one time thing but have seen it since Sunday. I guess with the mountains the smog just kind of gets trapped over the city?
