Hi! It's Raegan and Brandi and we have just returned from a weekend in Vail, Colorado. We flew out of Shenandoah Valley through Dulles into Denver Intl. Airport. We took the Colorado Mountain Express shuttle service to Vail which is about 2 hours and 15 minutes from the Denver airport. We stayed at the Vail Marriott Mountain Resort and Spa. We went to Vail for a training seminar hosted by United Vacations. We learned about the many ski resort areas in Colorado. We toured several of the many accommodations in Vail.
Vail is a beautiful European style town, built as a ski resort so they know how to take care of tourists. We were there in early October so there wasn't any snow yet but Vail is a four season resort so there were still many people in town. The Aspen leaves had turned the most beautiful shade of gold! It is breathtakingly beautiful in the Rockies. Vail sits at about 8000 feet above sea level. We were warned about altitude sickness but neither of us had any problems. We experienced sunshine, rain, snow flurries and sleet in a 2 hour span on the drive back to Denver!
If you like to ski, snowboard, go tubing, hike, kayak, shop or any other outdoor activity, Vail is the place to be!
