Pinetree Commons: The Condo

Pinetree Commons: The Condo, Angel Fire

Eat on the slopes, Angel Fire

 texaslloyd Says:  Our best meals were on the slopes at a bar-b-que place (sorry, can't remember the names). They grilled veggie burgers for us. We also had a nice lunch at a mexican restaurant at the base of the lifts.

 toonsarah Says:  The Visitor Centre was built in the 1980s, largely underground so as not to detract from the flowing lines of the chapel. Its collections cover the creation of the Vietnam Veterans' Memorial and also the Vietnam War itself. There are lots of old news photos and news footage...
