I used to live in Colorado Springs. I cannot tell you anything about ems out there but I can tell you that it is a wonderful area. If you are an outdoors or history geek Colorado has alot to offer. I very much enjoyed the beauty of Pikes Peak as well as all the trout fishing that was available in the area. Denver is also a very scenic city. I am more of a fan of the little towns in further up in the mountains however. Denver right now is going through a really bad phase of crime and drugs in certain parts of the city. I am sure that on an ems perspective they are fairly busy in both cities.

i've only been in denver a few months now, but aside from the ridiculous storms i like it here.
as far as reciprocity goes, co accepts/requires national registry (i don't think they'll grant reciprocity based on only a cert from another state). the co dept of public health website has a really helpful guide: http://www.cdphe.state.co.us/em/CertificationEducation/index.html
if you have questions on anything, feel free to pm me, i just went through this last month.
i don't know so much about job prospects, i think it mostly depends on your training and experience. as a brand-new basic i'm not exactly being overwhelmed with job offers, but i'm not sure that necessarily implies there aren't jobs out there.

denver health runs 911 for denver county (http://www.denverems.org/). i think a few different private services have contracts for the surrounding metro area (rural/metro, pridemark, action care, etc).
where would you be moving from?

Call them. Their site may not be up to date so you may be emailing an address that is not checked all the time or you are emailing a person that is no longer there.
