Have a sister, nephews and a neice in TF. All have gotten into trouble several times with the law. Its a beautiful area, but not much to do. Small, ski resort. Snake river if you enjoy fishing. All my family has gotten into a lot of trouble with meth and DUIs. Think the only reason they still live there is they own a Frank Louyd Wright house, with 5 acres right on the Snake River that's paid for (divorce).
Only passed through there once. Stopping briefly to visit. Nevada, its neighboring state is the arm pit of the west. You have to drive a decent amount of time to get to the White Mtns I think???? in the central part of the state. Reno and Tahoe is a decent haul. Not sure how far it is to Boise and Northern part of the state.
Durango still has a special place in my heart when it comes to mtn biking and outdoors in general. Did a lot of riding in that area back in the late 90's, early 2000's. It was amazing. I'm sure things have changed considerable since then, but if I had a job offer there. Would have to strongly consider it.
