Beaver Creek Mountain Village
I made a mountain journey this past weekend to Beaver Creek Mountain Village where I met up with my son, his wife and three grandchildren. Beaver Creek Mountain Village is sweetly nestled in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. When Colorado sought to host the 1976 Winter Olympics , Beaver Creek development was part of its successful bid in May 1970 The drive from our home is an easy 3 hour drive. I took highway 25 onto 470 West and intersected with 70 West which took me right into the middle of the glorious Rocky Mountains. The views were amazing and I popped open the sunroof (20 degrees) revved up the heater and the music too. Carole King was my radio companion for most of the way. The Aspen Tree has always been a favorite of mine, any time of the year. Beaver Creek ski area operates on National Forest System lands under special use permit to the White River National Forest . The 30-year permit assigns a portion of the bundle of rights associated with land ownership to the permit hold
