Family ride 2016, today I returned for the four hour ride. The scenery and ride through aspen forests were amazing. The stable is still well run and expert guide Nicki gave us interesting facts along the way. This is a professional & safety conscious stable.
I would love to do the trail ride next!

Reviewed By Theferros - St. Kitts and Nevis
(pre kids) we went to Beaver Creek (90's). I remembered it for the amazing ski experience. Well they have done so much since then to expand the amazing experience. Springfest activities for kids. A beautiful comfortable setting of cushioned chairs and gas fire pits. A reasonably priced ice skating experience at $10 per child. A five star vibe with top notch galleries and restaurants. It was a very nice place to visit.

Zip Adventures was an outstanding zip line experience. It was our first time and I was very anxious and almost backed out. So glad I didn't. All 4 of us, including 2 tween/teens, rated it as our fav activity of our trip to CO. I'm afraid of heights and have motion sickness and i had the best time. You are in a full body harness and feel so safe. Views and experience are amazing. Worth the cost!

you from trying triple g it really isn't that far of a drive about 25 minutes. You won't be disappointed
6. Crazy Mountain Brewing Company

Reviewed By twintipbunny - Duluth, Minnesota
I bought several bottles of the local's stash to try. It was a giant waste of money. With names like peanut butter, chocolate, creamsicale, strawberry- they do not deliver. Crazy Mountain just threw labels on the bottle without actually putting any flavor in the beer. I drink a lot of beer and this brewery is now my least favorite. I've never had a bad peanut butter ale until I came here. Try some beer on the flights, but don't purchase without sampling first.

This is a wonderful park for children, adolescents, adults and dogs! There is/are playground equipment, ball fields(including volleyball) walking/biking trails, and an off-leash dog park on the shores of a charming lake. On one of the trails around the lake, there is a moving memorial to those who lost their lives on 9-11 with a slab from the Pentagon. We went to this park every day during our visit and are grateful for its existence!

I am still beaming after summiting my first 14er with Walking Mountains, Peter, and his fellow guides. Joined them on other hikes and will in the future. This welcoming group includes seasonal locals, vacationers and folks of all ages, whoever is available and interested on the allotted day. As I'm the big hiker in my family, this removes my concern about hiking alone and gives me access to gorgeous places. Well worth the time and your effort, wherever they take you around the Vail Valley environs.
9. Summit Course at Cordillera

A Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, this 18-hole looped layout is located at an elevation of 9,000 feet.
Reviewed By jaybeeFL - Florida
Played this course several years ago and thoroughly enjoyed the very challenging layout. It not only plays long (7200+ yards) but has numerous blind shots and long carries to reach the welcoming fairways. Uphill, downhill, sidehill lies are the rule of the day which can be a little disconcerting for folks from Florida. The scenery and valley vistas provide a beautiful backdrop to a magical location. Troon has been doing a great job managing and maintaining a wonderful golf venue.

And to finish off they gave us free hot chocolate drink with cream marshmallows and cookies. Tom you made the nature trail walk so Thank you so much.
