More down to earth in the highcountry

At first sight, Edwards, High in the mountains of central Colorado, comes across as a jigsaw puzzle whose pieces don't quite fit.  Its cluster of playing fields, uniformly spaced town homes that parallel intersate 70 and a downtown made up of a handful of commercial spaces built in the last 15 years or so make Edwards feel more like a planned suburb than a thriving resort community.  In fact, Edwards, 110 miles west of Denver, isn't even officially a town.  Named after a late 19th century satte senator who was also the local postmaster, it's a 40 square  mile swath of former ranch land and lettuec farms taht sits in an unincorporated part of Eagle county and has lately been on a development fast track. But resort community is exactly what Edwards is.  With its easy access to skiing, golfing and hiking, Edwards attracts active baby boomers who want recreation coupled with upscale comforts, at housing prices slightly less staggering than those in neighboring Beaver Creek and Vail.
