Bighorn straddles the Gore Creek valley in Colorado’s central Rocky Mountains, where narrow, forested terrain has concentrated settlement and travel along the route toward Vail. Gore Creek runs west to the Eagle River, placing the area within the Colorado River watershed. Vail, a short distance west, became an international ski destination after Vail Ski Resort opened in 1962, and its winter-sports culture still shapes the wider valley. Summer brings hikers and cyclists to the surrounding mountain country. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of the Vail Valley and central Colorado.
