Red Cliff: Battle Mountain - Belle’s Camp
In Colorado, few places have a history as deeply bound to the rise of destination skiing as Vail Mountain. Belle’s Camp is an on-mountain stop in its high, forested terrain near Red Cliff, while Battle Mountain names part of the surrounding alpine landscape. Vail opened for skiing in 1962, founded by Pete Seibert, who had served with the U.S. Army’s 10th Mountain Division, and Earl Eaton. The resort subsequently spread far beyond its original front-side slopes, linking extensive terrain across Vail Mountain. The Gore Range gives this part of Eagle County its rugged setting, with ski runs and conifer forest extending between ridgelines. Red Cliff, in the Eagle River valley, developed as a mining community.

Red Cliff lies along the Eagle River in a high valley beneath Battle Mountain, where red-toned rock faces and conifer forest define this part of Colorado’s central Rockies. The town developed as a silver-mining centre in the late 19th century, and its compact historic core recalls the period when Red Cliff served as Eagle County’s first seat. Beyond town, the Eagle River valley leads toward the resorts and passes of the wider Vail Valley, while trails in the nearby White River National Forest bring the alpine setting within reach.

Among the states of the United States, Colorado stands out for the high Rocky Mountain country running through its centre. Around this part of the state, forested slopes, open basins and granite outcrops form the interior landscape of the Rockies, where conditions can change rapidly with the season. The Continental Divide crosses Colorado, separating waters that flow toward the Pacific from those bound for the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. The Arkansas River rises in the central Rockies and is one of the state’s major waterways. Admitted to the Union in 1876, Colorado is still known as the Centennial State.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
