Red Cliff
"Red Cliff is a tiny mountain town between Vail and Leadville"
Red Cliff is a tiny town of about 300 people in Eagle County south of Vail along HW 24 on the way to Leadville. This is a pretty valley along the Eagle River and named after the red quartzite cliffs.
The town was a silver mining community early days. This is an amazing valley area with lots of property for the adventurous souls looking for mountain property or land for horses. Average household income is about $50,000.

"A small mountain town with few residents"
Red Cliff lies south of Vail along Highway 24. While the median income is slightly less than the state average, the median home price here is well above the state average. This is most likely due to the fact that there are some rather expensive custom homes on acreage up in this area. The 267 residents of Red Cliff work mostly in construction, retail, and accommodation/food services.
The area here is beautiful as it lies in the mountains surrounded by pine and Aspen trees. There are some older buildings that have been here for years, and unfortunately not been kept up as in other mountain towns of Colorado. There isn't too much in this little town, aside from peaceful, quiet living.
61% of the residents here are white, 38% hispanic, and two American Indians and one black person call Red Cliff home.
