Went on a hike to Hanging Lake. Ballbusting hump up there, but well worth it.

1) Sylvan Lake-Follow the signs from downtown Eagle and bring your hiking boots and a camera. Icefishing, snowmobiling, etc.

2) Hanging Lake-West on Hwy 70, follow the signs and ditto on the hiking boots.

3) Borrow one of the mountain bikes from VVJC.

4) Fishing in the Eagle River.

5) Roam through Home Depot and think about all the work you need to do at home.

Lots of stuff to do for the non skiier.

All the hotels in Eagle are dumpy by most standards. The Holiday Inn in Vail is nice, as are the majors in the same area.

The lack of O2 explains a lot.

You could always get a flight in one of Leadville's 172s and get your own certificate. Their 160 hp 172P (N127FR) is a bit tired, but workable. Their 150 hp 172N (N12638) has a fresh engine and is the "hotrod" of the two. www.leadvilleairport.com/
