Nestled in the Colorado High Country!
Located just west of Denver, the town of Vail is an amazing setting with a rich history that dates back two centuries. In recent times, former president Gerald Ford was from Vail, and the world-class ski resorts here were the first in the nation to boast a ski gondola. It is a destination for the rich & famous, like nearby Aspen – Princess Diana vacationed with Princes William and Henry, both for winter skiing and summer rafting, in beautiful Vail, Colorado. But it’s also accessible for family vacationers, retirees, and others who just love the lush scenery and vibrant atmosphere.
