Does Living In Colorado Reduce Stress?

According to A 2014 study by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Harvard School of Public Health, Colorado is one of the most relaxing places to live.

In fact, it was the only state that had two cities listed in the 'Top 10 Least Stressed Cities in America.' Congratulations to Fort Collins and Boulder!

The study quotes for Boulder, "Certain elements of the hippie movement maintain a hold on the Boulder culture. It remains one of the most popular cities for outdoor-enthusiasts and a top choice for users of recreational pot."

The study quotes for Fort Collins, "Some 67% of the city’s population gets the recommended amount of weekly exercise (150 minutes of moderate physical activity or 75 minutes of rigorous physical activity). That’s the fourth highest percentage of the 500 largest U.S. cities."

One of the common stress relievers for these two cities is outdoor activity and E\exercise. Should Grand Junction be in this list?? Between the Mesa, Monument, And Bookcliffs, there is no lack of outdoor activity!
