Practicalities

The town has a hospital and other such services. It also has a Safeway where one can drive for groceries, including food to prepare for the potluck and lunches for hike and jeep Safari. See main Web site for Vail.

Vail is about 8200 feet above sea level, so be prepared to adjust to the high altitude, especially on the hike and jeep safari. Last summer, the mountains were unseasonably hot (in the 80's), but be prepared for cool evenings and possible afternoon rain showers.
