10 Best Mountain Towns in The United States

10 Best Mountain Towns in The United States

I've been asked many times to make a list of the best mountain towns.
These are some of the best I have ever visited. Let me know in the comment section which ones you liked or is there some you think should be on the list?

If you enjoy these videos I would love to hear about it. Most of these videos are made to help people who are thinking about relocating, looking for real estate, or just wanting to learn about the United States. We look at the best and worst cities, states, towns, and neighborhoods in the United States. But, most of the time focus on the negative side of locations. If you only want some happy positive information about a city, town, or state, I would suggest looking up local mortgage and real estate companies or maybe the locations website. They are trying to sell you something so it will be nothing but sunshine, rainbows and a bunch of smoke up your skirt. They won't tell you about crime, poverty, bail bondsmen, or insurance you'll need because of natural disasters. I will. And I will try and make it entertaining.

Honestly the best are the ones we've never heard of that aren't crowed with tourists.

Please remember to take care of these small towns!! I grew up in a small mountain town in NH and I can't tell you how many people come up and just leave trash everywhere! With covid its even worse!

[Kaos]

The Dalles and Hood River, Oregon, Couerd'Alene, Idaho, Whitefish, Montana All 4 are absolutely georgeous!!!🌞

Ouray, CO! It’s the Switzerland of the Rockies. Amazing little bitty town!

[HeavenEarthFloral]

Great coverage. My favorite: Ouray, Colorado - "the Switzerland of America". Hot springs, waterfalls, towering mountains with Jeep tours, history and overall mountain charm!

Mountains always have my vote over beaches. And if mountains has a good lake or stream nearby ... all the better. Growing up in the swamps off the gulf coast, I'm done forever with beaches and "tropical islands."

Durango, Co, Santa Fe, Taos, NM, Yosemite, CA, Flagstaff, Sedona AZ

Due to my work, I travel extensively throughout California, especially to the more secluded parts of California. Every time someone asks me what’s the nicest place I’ve ever been to in the state I always have to reply Truckee. It’s incredibly beautiful and the residents there are incredibly nice. Real happy it made the list!

[andrewmcculloch]

Lewisburg WV is an absolute gem. One of the best outdoors meccas on the east coast, and the nicest friendliest people I have met in the US (I've been deep into to all 50 states). No crowded trails, unbelievable mountain biking, cheap living, and just incredible. Naked Bear Farms outside of LWB is the place to stay, its breathtaking. United flies there also, pretty cool!

[YFBUSBYCARTEL]

The san Gabriel valley in California always a vibe you can go hiking anytime of the day

[itsnotme]

North Conway, NH. Totally agree with Asheville, Truckee. Lewisburg was fun too.

[bencarreon]

Mammoth lakes, California. Such a beautiful laid back place... as well as June lake just down the road.

[patticampana]

Hey Briggs how about some nice places that the middle class can actually afford. I still love your observations. You are quite informative. Rock on Mr. Briggs.

[joshb]

Briggs, great video, and as a West Virginian, I'm glad a WV town was recognized!

However, I would suggest a different WV entry, and it's sort of a combo entry.

The twin towns of Thomas/Davis, WV each have ~2, 000 residents, 2 ski resorts are nearby: Timberline Mountain and Canaan Valley Resort. Three breweries are shared between the 2 towns, and The Purple Fiddle, a restaurant that hosts live music, is a popular tourist destination. Hiking, biking, skiing, horseback riding, offroading, kayaking, and whitewater rafting are just a few of the popular activities in the area.

Thanks!

Some places to consider: North Conway, NH; Jackson, NH; Durango, CO; Silverton, CO; Gatlenburg, TN; Ely, NV; Sedona, AZ; Mt. Charleston, NV; Colorado Springs, CO; and Juneau, AK

What is a group of Karens called? - an HOA

[curtisedwards]

Wow! Not one Montana Town. Whitefish is one the best places to go. Flathead Lake is the biggest lake west of the Mississippi. Montana most beautiful state as well.

[kimdower]

Jackson Hole, Wyoming should be on your list.
winter or summer absolutely beautiful!!!

[sofiacalcagno]

I honestly can’t believe you mentioned Ketchum Idaho! I have lived there my entire life, and it’s not a super well-known place in the eyes of the rest of the country! Honestly though I love living here, and it’s super beautiful in every season!

Park City, Utah is an awesome place in the winter. Skiing, staying in the Ski Lodge or visiting the local Film Festival. I have only been there for the film festival during the winter.
