Mountains of Hope: Treks, supplies, hope from Vail Valley aid Nepal’s needy
EAGLE COUNTY — Pemba Sherpa will trek through his native Nepal for fun, but never for profit. That’s how he came to lead a trek to Everest Base Camp, to help lead a ceremony for the late filmmaker and Vail resident Tom Taplin.
Taplin was born in Denver and has been part of Vail since the early 1960s when the family built a home on Forest Road that they still own.
