About Minturn
Minturn is an old railroad town on the Eagle River, just off I-70 on Highway 24. Vail and Beaver Creek are both a short drive away.
Skiers know it for the Minturn Mile, the backcountry route from Vail Mountain down into town. Highway 24 keeps going south toward Camp Hale and Tennessee Pass. On summer Saturdays the Minturn Market takes over Main Street.
It’s quieter than the resort towns, which makes it an easy place to leave the car.
