    This garden one of the world's highest botanical gardens at an 8,200 feet altitude in the Rocky…read moreMountains. We did a family trip up to the mountains for a couple of days and on our way back home, we stopped by the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens because I knew my mother in-law loved flowers and I thought she would enjoy it here. We parked in the parking lot next to the big open field. Unfortunately there was an event that day and we had to pay I think $10 (can't remember the exact amount). I guess it evened out since the garden is free? Anywho, the garden was a short walk from the parking lot. It's named after the former first lady who preferred Vail as their vacation spot and helped the community flourish to what it is today. There's signage throughout the garden to read about Betty Ford, the plants, and wild life. It's a small garden, but there are plants from all over the world and we enjoyed strolling through the various paths. My mother in-law enjoyed it as well, so mission accomplished! If you're in the area and love plants and flowers, it's worth a quick stop, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

    An absolutely beautiful botanical garden that the family didn't expect to be found in the ski town…read moreof Vail. The garden focused on alpine trees, plants, and flowers. It was so peaceful and enchanting to walk around the garden. In addition to plants and flowers, we also saw lots of butterflies and hummingbirds. Admission and parking were free, donation gladly welcome.

    I've been to several major ski towns by now, but this village really stands out for me…read more.. For some reason, I expected some changes, but the place looked exactly the same as I remembered it from over 10 years ago! Every square inch is just so picturesque! I did feel that there were a few negatives...for me (the non-skier). I just wished they had more boutiques that weren't so ski-oriented...and nicer coffee shops. Despite being such a swanky village, they also seemed to run short on nice bakeries and coffee shops. In fact, I was nearly shocked how basic some places were! Plenty of nice restaurants though...and many had cool European ambiance. Again, I'm not a skier, but I had no problems spending my time (up to 6 hours or more) walking around this pretty village. It truly felt as if I was in Germany or Switzerland. LOVE this place!!

    Always a great experience. While the crowd is similar to Aspen, Vail is an appeal all its own. Well…read moredeveloped, it's a great remake of a high mountain European village. With the river, legendary restaurants like Sweet Basil, Mountain Standard, Matsuhisa and Up The Creek, concerts in the garden, wowzsies, what more could one want? Oh, just one thing... To call it by its name. It is Vail Village. It is beside Vail Mountain. So, a note. To the Yelper who created the entry: very few people say Vail Mountain Village. In fact, I've never heard it uttered that way. Not once. Yes, I know, it seems I'm being ill-tempered. An ol' bag. Nit-picking. Semantics though are some times reflective of sensibility.
