Camping & Lodging
As a very popular resort destination, there are a multitude of places to stay from a tent to 5 star and beyond accommodation. Vail and Beaver Creek have oodles of hotel rooms and condos while Edwards west to Eagle has a handful of hotel options.
Camping is plentiful on USFS and BLM lands throughout the county from primitive sites to established campgrounds.

Food & Drink
After the Hike: Local Favorites
Big Bear Bistro
The Arugula and Mona Lisa salads we're good.
Vendetta's
Multi-level restaurant offers whatever experience you are looking for: pizza bar, sit-down restaurant and big, sunny back deck.
George Restaurant & Pub
A subterranean must-visit hot spot. The whole town can be quiet but this place will still be swarming with locals and visitors alike.
Yama Sushi
Really fresh sushi. I loved the tuna tacos and tuna tartare. The space is small though so make sure you have a reservation.
Pazzo's Pizza
Ok pizza. One of the best cheap meals in vail.
The Bully Ranch
Stellar! Really enjoyed our Coldwell Banker Previews International Summit at this location!
Alpenrose
Fat Tuesday $2 coors light! $5 mimosas! Get some!!
Blue Moose Pizza
If you don't order the Autumn Pizza you're an idiot.
The Little Diner
The place seats 19. So if you're trying to catch first chair, there will most likely be a line and count from the beginning of the line. I was here on a Sunday and I was the 20/21st in line!
Moe's Original BBQ
The chicken wings are amazing. So is the jalapeño corn bread. Come early, there tends to be long lines.
Game Creek Club
If your with a bunch of dudes, drink espresso martinis. Very manly, and make sure to talk about scamming on females at loud volumes... Spring break
Westside Cafe and Market
The Captain Crunch French Toast is the signature dish... for good reason. Great breakfast - be prepared to wait on weekends.
Minturn Saloon
Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. Get a margarita.
Sticky Fingers Cafe And Bakery
Cinnamon rolls great, don't bother with ice cream
Kirby Cosmos

Nozawa Sushi
The sushi is fresh and tastes pretty good!
Gondola Pizza
The gondola pizza was out of this world!
