A summer's drive through Vail, Colorado

The video was recorded on the solstice, the first day of summer, although I regularly drive by Vail every week. Rocky Mountain summers are short, dry, and in complete contrast to the winter playground most people know the area for. This particular route of travel was along Vail Valley Drive and the I-70 Frontage road to the roundabout at mile 176.

Vail is located about 150 kilometres (95 miles) west of Denver, Colorado.

It is a very beautiful place. But, of course, very expensive to live there!

You just want to breathe that in. Thats one of the things I rediscovered when I visited Colorado, breathe and relax. Beautiful.
