Today we traveled up to Vail, which is a pretty popular ski resort for those who do ski. Vail receives around 300 inches of snow per year whereas Denver receives very little due to the lower elevation. On our way up, we passed the Red Rock ampitheatre which has excellent acoustics. Its a huge outdoor ampitheatre and one of the best nationally.  In addition, it is used as an outdoor venue for crossfit and various exercise groups.

We landed in Vail and spent a few hours there. It honestly looks like a small German/European town in the midst of the Rockies. There were plenty of outdoor shops and food vendors and the Vail Jazz group was playing as well. In the summer, every Sunday,  vendors are set up in the town for the people to enjoy. We ended our day and then traveled on to Moab, which is where most of the western movies have been filmed.
