#Worth1000Words – this image is from Kristin Henning and it was taken at Vail Colorado. Here’s Kris’ explanation of the photo: a Vail Mountain gondola over the fast-moving Gore Creek, Vail Village, Colorado. The famous ski resort of Vail, Colorado, turns its attention to other outdoor activities in the summer. The surrounding White River National Forest in the Rocky Mountains provides a natural playground for hiking, biking, rafting, fly fishing, and camping.

After a pause for the spring melt, Vail Village and all its restaurants come back to life.
Yes Kris, we think it is #Worth1000Words.Read More
