Eagle, Colorado | Driving Tour of Eagle
A driving tour of Eagle, Colorado during March 2013. With a population of 6,508 as of the 2010 census, Eagle is a statutory town in and the county seat of Eagle County in Colorado.
Eagle's climate is categorized as semi-arid, having pretty cold winters and surprisingly hot summers. After sunset, temperatures drop a lot due to the high elevation, so be sure to bring at least a sweatshirt if you are going to be outside after dark.
Eagle County Regional Airport is located just 5 miles away, between Gypsum and the center of Eagle-Vail. The airport services many different destinations during the winter, as it is only a 20 minute drive to nearby world class ski resorts (Beaver Creek in Avon, CO and Vail in Vail, CO), however just has flights to Denver and Dallas.
There is a fair amount of wild life as the outskirts of town are pretty sparse for people and development.
