When it comes to small and picturesque mountain towns, Colorado has some of the most iconic in the country! However, when it comes to small and unique villages, Colorado may just have greatest one of all with the quaint and unforgettable Vail:
Established and incorporated in 1966, Vail was founded with the intention of creating a base village to Vail Ski Resort, but quickly gained a reputation of its own as being a full-blown Colorado destination!
