Location balance between mountain recreation and CU Anschutz

Hi, I will be moving in from a small city out of state to start a position at CU Anschutz. I have never spent time in the Denver area, and looking for recommendations to live. I am single, 30’s M, no kids, no pets. I don’t care at all about the typical bars, coffee, restaurants, nightlife, etc. I do care about outdoor recreation access and green space. I need to train for a mountain ultramarathon throughout the summer, and want to get into mountain biking. I’m having a hard time finding a balanced location that provides access to campus and my outdoor hobbies. I was looking at Glendale, Cherry creek, Lakewood, Arvada, or Westminster. Golden and Morrison seem great for recreation, but too long of a commute to campus. Downtown Denver has zero appeal to me. Do you local experts have thoughts on locations that provide a good balance between commuting to campus 3-5 days/week and hiking, mountain running/biking access 2-3 times during the week? Thanks!

I am looking at a 2022 SR5+premium package. ~30000 miles. 41K before tax and fees. The VIN doesn’t show up on the NHTSA website for the engine recall, and the CARFAX does not show an engine replacement. Fuel hoses were replaced @ 20,000 miles, and fuel tank was replaced at 25,000 miles (I think swapped the 22 for 32 gal tank). I thought all non-hybrid 2022’s were eligible for the engine replacement. Are only select VINs eligible for replacement?

Other info: Was a 3 year lease, regularly serviced, then purchased by 2nd owner, who only had it for 9 months and did the fuel hose and tank replacement. CARFAX looks great. I’m just worried that either the engine was already replaced and it’s not showing up or at the end of its 1 year warranty. Or if it’s not eligible for replacement, then the engine will blow and I’ll be on the hook for 30k replacement. All in all looks fine on paper, but the timeline is a bit suspicious.
