Situated along the southern banks of the Eagle River within the great wilderness of White River National Forest in central Colorado lies the beautiful community of Edwards. A census-designated place, Edwards is part of Eagle County, and is located on the I-70 between the communities of Eagle and Avon. The famous community of Vail, known for its splendid scenery, is a 20-minute drive west. The estimate population of Edwards is 9,5000 people.

Known throughout the nation as one of the finest resort areas, the community of Edwards seldom disappoints as evident by its strong tourism industry, which is the backbone of the local economy. Established in the late 19th century as a affluent resort for prominent businessmen from the east, Edwards has gone through many transformations. Edwards has come into its own as a resort community, which has made it the fastest growing community in Eagle County.

For outdoor recreation, Edwards, much like other communities on the famed Vail Valley, is a veritable paradise. In 2003, Ski Magazine named Edwards as one of the premier family-style ski towns in the United States. Its close proximity to Vail and Beaver Creek also gives its guest a little more variety if needed. In the summer, many other activities like camping, hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking are also possible in the expansive White River, Pike, Routte, and Arapaho National Forests.
