Vail, Colorado

The buildings in Vail are architected to mimic the gingerbread look.  Vail is certainly not a historic town, since it was founded in 1962.  Nonetheless, it is a very high-quality small town community with breathtaking scenery and great restaurants with every imaginable cuisine.  This small town is also unusual in that the central village is pedestrian-only.  Vail has hosted numerous world ski championships.  EARNS OUR HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.
