Visiting Vail.....
Vail, Colorado, is a small town at the base of Vail Mountain, home of
the massive Vail Ski Resort. Set within White River National Forest,
the town is a gateway for winter sports such as skiing and snow-
boarding. It’s also a summertime destination for golfing, hiking and
cultural festivals. Gore Creek, popular for fly fishing, runs directly
through the town center.
The drive to Vail from Boulder is very scenic and enroute you go
through the Eisenhour Tunnel which is an engineering marvel. It is
the longest tunnel in the world at the height of 11138 feet.
