About Red Cliff

Tucked into a rugged canyon along the upper Eagle River, Red Cliff is the oldest town in Eagle County. Founded during the 1879 silver rush and named for the towering red bluffs that surround it, this small mountain enclave sits quietly below Highway 24, just past the iconic green truss bridge. It offers a relaxed, tight-knit community for people who love the outdoors, with direct access to hiking and snowmobiling on Shrine Pass and a peaceful, authentic character only twenty minutes from Vail.
