Greeley, CO
Greeley is located in northern Colorado, some 50 miles north-northeast of Denver. It has approximately 100,000 inhabitants. Quoting the Greeley Chamber of Commerce booklet, “We’re perfectly situated on the high plains. Look to the west and you’ll enjoy a panoramic view of the Rocky Mountains, just an hour away. To the east, you’ll step back into the American western prairie, fully equipped with productive farmland and open spaces.”
Climate (from above booklet)
“Greeley experiences the best of all four seasons! We enjoy a semi-arid, steppe climate with hot summers and primarily mild winters. Relative humidity is low year-round. Abundant sunshine and little precipitation make for a pleasant climate year-round.”
Getting to Greeley
Greeley is an hour south of Cheyenne, WY, which is located on Interstate 80. The Denver International Airport is also just an hour away, to the south.
