Paonia, Colorado is a small town known as one of the largest organic growing communities west of the Mississippi which is loaded with creative people who are up to something. You’ll find an abundance of art, music, and things to do especially in spring, summer, and fall.
There are sights to see and hiking to be had between Black Canyon of the Gunnison, Crested Butte, Telluride, Aspen, hot springs, and the Grand Mesa which has over 300 lakes. If you ski cross country and downhill, areas are all around.
