Hey guys, I'm Dylan and I'm from Chicago. I have the opportunity to work remotely and want to start over in another part of the country. I'm seeking a place that is warm, outdoorsey and transplant-friendly. Money is not an issue because I will be working remotely and keeping my same salary. I enjoy hiking, camping, visiting national parks, exploring abandoned places and taking lots of photos everywhere I go.

Vegas is my first choice and I'm also considering St. George Utah and Colorado Springs. How do these three cities compare for the outdoors lifestyle and making friends to do stuff with? Any other cities or states that you would recommend?
