Quirky, Comfortable Minturn
You’ve got to love a town where you can stroll down Main Street in your slippers, enroute for your first cup of coffee.
That’s Minturn. Relaxed. Comfortable. Friendly.
This cool little enclave first came on the scene during Eagle County’s mining boom in the late 1800s and was essentially a railroad division point. Located just off I-70 five minutes down valley from Vail, the town has a traditional main drag dotted with shops, casual restaurants and galleries. Nestled aside the Eagle River, the historic homes, quaint shops and family atmosphere help retain the old time charm.
If you are looking for an alternative to the high-style and glitz of Vail Village or Beaver Creek, settle in to Minturn. Here’s a sampling of what you’ll find:

Free To Roam
The parades are behind us. The fireworks have faded.But it is never too late to celebrate our personal freedom and independence. During this summer month we can examine our own thoughts, beliefs and actions. How do we express these indispensable gifts in own lives?

Perhaps this is the month to develop fresh goals, to create new opportunities for ourselves and perhaps our family members. We have choices. There are options.
We are free to roam. Take advantage of it!

A Hungry Calf and Hank
“Here baby. Here baby.” I called tentatively to the adorable, brown and white calf whose mother is unable to feed her. An infection means someone must feed this young creature twice each day. I am an eager volunteer.
I was soon to learn that Mom The Cow may not be able to provide milk to her calf at the moment, but she is not short on the instinct to provide protection.
She stood behind her baby, sizing up the human holding the large bottle, full of warm sustenance, intended for her wobbly, young one.
