SUMMER TIME
IN THE VAIL VALLEY
Vail, Colorado is not only one of the most popular winter resorts, but also a beautiful and relaxing place to visit in
the summer. The aspen trees turn a brilliant gold and the mountains are alive with wildlife. This is the time of year to pull
your camping equipment and mountain bike out of the garage and take to the hills. Spend a summertime in the Vail Valley
and enjoy the festivals, events, activities...
Pedal Power...
Mountain bikes and road bikes have become a popular and exciting sport to the Vail Valley. Beaver Creek and Vail
both offer a large terrain of trails and even open several lifts to take you and your bike to the top of the mountain. Vail
hosts several bike races during the summer and has become a favorite to many professional riders.
Going For A Walk...
To enjoy the full experience of the mountains, pack a lunch and spend the day hiking along the hundreds of miles
of trails through the National Forest. The trails are easy to access from Beaver Creek or Vail and each trail has it's own
spectacular views of the mountains and valleys. Both resorts also open several lifts to take you to the top of the mountain
where you can access even more trails.
White Water...
The snow runoff in the spring makes for great rafting or kayaking along the Eagle River. Enjoy tackling the white water
rapids or a relaxing raft ride through the Glenwood Canyon with one of Vail Valley's many licensed and qualified guides.
There are also beginning courses in kayaking and a competitive kayak course on the Eagle River.
Gone Fishing!
Some of the best trout waters in the nation are located in the Rocky Mountains and Gore Creek in Vail is well known
for it's trout fishing. Vail Valley is a fly fisherman's dream with all the lakes, rivers and streams located nearby. Visit one
of the many outfitters for supplies and information or hire a guide to take you to the best fishing holes, but don't forget
that fishing license.
Up, Up, And Away...
Experience the thrill of floating over the Vail Valley with nothing but the wind and a balloon to guide you. Several balloon
companies offer this year-round experience to see the detailed landscape from the sky and they also book flights for special occasions
and weddings.
