"True mountain living"
Deckers is an unincorporated town which lies at an elevation of 6,400 feet in central Colorado. Most natives know of Deckers for the incredible fly fishing that's available here along the South Platte River. Outside of a small convenience store/ice cream shop there isn't any shopping or dining unless you're staying at one of the bed and breakfast places. This is a hilly, mountainous area with mostly dirt roads and it can get tricky getting up there in the winter when there's been a lot of snow.
Some years back I had friends that lived in Deckers and it was always a nice, peaceful weekend when I went up there. You can hear the wind blowing through the trees and if you're lucky enough to live by the river, you've got an ideal spot. I think that overall you'd have to be pretty dedicated to living the quiet life to settle in Deckers. Although it's really pretty, it is a bit remote for some people.

"Take a Sunday drive to Deckers from Denver..."
In June 2002 the big Colorado forest fire known as the Hayman Fire put the Deckers area on the national map, news wise. Deckers is an unincorporated mountain/Front Range area/community between Denver and Colorado Springs. This really is a pretty area and close enough to the Front Range communities and accessible to DIA to be doable for retirees or business people that travel. This would be a great place for a summer (or winter) home or investment property in Colorado. There are areas that are burnt but they are now safer from future fires and you would be surprised how growth in just a year or so can rehabilitate the landscape after even a major scorcher.
Another name for the area is Dafodill or Deckers depending on who you talk to. The area is remote and close to the city at the same time, a unique area to check out for real estate or a Sunday drive.
