Vail - 
Trees, Flowers, & Streams 

Vail is easily accessible located just an hour from Denver and sitting right on the edge of Interstate 70.  Some of the locals are talking about a project called, "Put a Lid on It" where a cover would be built over the interstate to create a more pleasing environment.  
Being right on the interstate doesn't afford the opportunity to get away from it all like you can in Breckenridge or Aspen.  Yet, a walk around Vail Mountain reveals all the scenic beauty that nature has to offer.  Here a stand of Aspen trees reach for sunlight while the beautiful blue sky frames the background.
 
The waters of a mountain stream cascades over the rocks as it winds its way down the side of Vail mountain, while... 
the fragile white flowers of the Rocky Mountain springtime bask in the morning sun as the water dances on the rocks.
