Four years ago Nora Flannery, 54, was flipping through a magazine when she came across an article on St. George, Utah. "My husband, Pat and I knew St. George because we had been driving through on family vacations to Lake Powell for years," she says. What they had never done, though, was actually stop. A few months later they did, staying at SunRiver, a fast-growing 55-plus community just outside St. George. Within the year the Flannerys sold their restaurant-supply business in central California and put a down payment on a house. "I guess we were really ready for the change," says Pat, 59.

Much of the appeal of St. George lies in its myriad of opportunities for hiking, biking, and other fitness activities in the red-rock cliffs that surround the town. Both Nora and Pat play pickleball a fast-paced racquet game popular in the area-and since moving, they have also bought bicycles. "And on Sundays we try and make it a point to take the Jeep off-roading, because there's such great territory to explore," says Pat. "We could never have afforded this kind of life back in California," adds Nora.
