Eagle, Colorado

The western gateway to Vail Valley — ranches, river access, and a regional airport most travelers don't know about

Home Destinations Vail Valley Resorts Eagle

Eagle is the county seat and westernmost town in the Vail Valley corridor, sitting where Brush Creek meets the Eagle River about 30 miles west of Vail. The town has two personalities: a practical western Colorado community with a walkable downtown grid, and the home of Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE) — a small but well-connected airport that offers direct flights from major hubs during ski season. For travelers who want Vail Valley access without I-70 tunnel traffic from Denver, flying into EGE and driving 30 minutes east is the insider move.
