June 2011 News

Only in the mountains of Colorado can it be 85 degrees during the day (dry heat) and 50 at night. It is the most perfect combination of temperatures and climate anywhere I have ever been. Over the last several weeks we've had endless Colorado blue sky and a perfect breeze. It could not be any better!

July 4th
Summer just got here and it's flying by already. The 4th is a wonderful time to be in Vail. The biggest event is the parade through Vail Village featuring floats of all different shapes and sizes. Marching bands, children's organizations and the famed Vail Precision Lawn Chair Demonstration Team will all be visible in this colorful parade that is a tradition in this Valley. In addition to the parade, there are wonderful concerts at the Ford Amphitheater, guided hikes, a competitive running event and fun activities for families throughout the Village and Golden Peak starting July 1st.

This display is one of the best in the State.
