Eagle Country Airport, Gypsum CO

Rating - 10.00

This is the way they should built airport....small/compact, decent seating areas, 1 minute walk to baggage claim....and baggage delivered 5 minutes after arrival.

Could be because its SO SMALL.....we flew into it out of Chicago (there were maybe 40 people on a Tuesday morning flight) and back home via Denver - which was an awful trip down the mountain.

After collecting our baggage, there was a CME - http://talesfromtheroad-mwalno.blogspot.com/2010/03/colorado-mountain-express-colorado.html, counter where we got hooked up with our van to the Park Hyatt - http://talesfromtheroad-mwalno.blogspot.com/2010/03/park-hyatt-beaver-creek-co-february-16.html for an excellent vacation at Beaver Creek - http://talesfromtheroad-mwalno.blogspot.com/2010/03/beaver-creek-vacation-beaver-creek-co.html. The ride was probably 30 minutes and they dropped us off right at the Park Hyatt.

One warning - on the Saturday we were leaving they had a LOT of SNOW and many United flights were cancelled and people were re booked out of Denver. From what we heard the AA flights went out as planned....

What a great experience!
