They Actually Get Their Hands Dirty
This TV couple puts the "real" in reality, rolling their sleeves up and getting their hands dirty during renos. Ryan takes it to the extreme. Trista told Us Weekly, "He's a true Colorado mountain man, which is part of the reason why I love him. He's literally chopping down trees!"

It Combines the Best HGTV Content in One Great New Show
Rocky Mountain Reno takes the best from Fixer Upper, House Hunters Reno, and Log Cabin Living, throws in a Bachelorette couple, and places the action in stunning Vail, CO. Winning formula? We think so.

It Highlights Colorado's Family-Friendly Atmosphere
Trista hopes Rocky Mountain Reno will showcase Colorado's family-friendly demeanor. "People come here wanting to start a family. As a mom, I wouldn't want to raise my kids anywhere else — it's such a beautiful community with lots of support," she told Us Weekly.
