For decades, the Eagle and Gypsum area thrived as a ranching community. The area was known for its excellent crops of hay, grains, potatoes and head lettuce. In the mid-1960s, ski resort development at Vail was instrumental in changing the valley to a resort-based economy.

Eagle is close to the following ski resorts:
21 mi drive to Avon
30 mi drive to Vail
40 mi drive to Snowmass See Avon, CO Info., Vail, CO Info. & Snowmass Village, CO Info.

These humble beginnings have not been forgotten. There still exists a quiet, small-town atmosphere along with the breathtaking wide-open expanses of rolling mountainsides. Tourism has become a key draw to the area for these reasons.
