Alpine escape
A small village with cobblestone streets, a tall white clock tower, mountain lodges, and gasthofs: Vail, Colorado, may sit in the heart of the Rockies, but it was built to evoke a ski town in the Alps. Indeed, city founders drew architectural inspiration from throughout the Alps. Cynics call th

Five great breakfast spots in Denver
Annies Cafe. Annies is happily stuck in the 1950s, when kids carried tin lunch boxes to school and store signs came in neon (memorabilia youll find on the walls here). Breakfast still means platters heaped with entrées like French toast or classic Denver omelets. $. 4012 E. Eighth Ave.; 303/355

Rio Grande Gorge. I walk across the spid

amphitheater―and you, along with 139 other gue
