The Eagle County School District RE 50J covers 2,500 square miles of mountain terrain in the central Colorado Rockies. The District serves communities varying from the international ski resorts of Vail and Beaver Creek to the small towns of Minturn, Red Cliff, Edwards, Eagle and Gypsum. Year-round residents believe that "Eagle County is not only a place to make a living; it's a place to make a life." They enjoy a family environment that gets a "Rocky Mountain High" from a close and caring community. That's what makes Wild West Day possible.
