The great thing about Vail, Colorado is the accessibility. Located right off of I-70 in the center of the Rocky
Mountains is Vail, just a couple of hours west of Denver. With I-70 being the “bloodline” connecting Denver to Grand Junction and beyond into Utah, motorists from the front range have to go by Vail. Lucky for them since Vail is a ski destination.
The skiable terrain of Vail Mountain is HUGE and one should spend at least a week on the slopes to explore its’ expanse. I, personally, have skied Vail several times and find that I could keep going and going and going without skiing the same run twice. With the addition of Blue Sky Basin a few years back, Vail Mountain definitely becomes a playground for the die-hard skier and snowboarder.

When leaving Denver in the rear-view mirror and heading up I-70 going West, one starts to see the Rocky Mountains in front and the plains behind. After going through Eisenhower Tunnel and Loveland Pass one starts going down the other side only to meet Summit County head on. There are three towns adjacent to each other, Frisco, Dillon and Silverthorne. There are five ski areas that can
be accessed rather easily and those are Breckenridge, Copper, Keystone, A-Basin and Loveland ski area. A-Basin and Loveland tend to be used by the locals but should not be overlooked by any skier or snowboarder. Most of the skier traffic to Summit County comes from the Front Range and Denver just because it is so convenient and the ski area options are so great.

Churches, temples, mosques, synagogues ?? whatever faith they belong to, and wherever they are in the world, these holy places almost always make it onto the tourist’s itinerary.
We come out of curiosity about another country’s religious traditions, or to see the incredible artistic and architectural creations, or simply to soak in that solemn, reverential vibe so strikingly absent from almost all other aspects of modern life.
