Inspiration: Eagle County

GW Canyon is a Western Colorado native. It's been said, "write about what you know," and living in Eagle County for over twenty years (home of the Vail and Beaver Creek ski areas), this was our backyard. The top three photos are of the Lake Creek area. Homes and interiors are from friends' homes.

Big living room. Big views.

A mansion typical of what would be at the Bristlecone Club.
