Things to do in Vail, Colorado (CO): The Best Outdoor Activities
North America's biggest and most popular ski resort, Vail is an alpine village in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Long a favorite of serious skiers and jet setting celebrities, Vail now also draws a younger, hipper snowboarding crowd. Skiing is king at Vail Mountain and the Blue Sky Basin, but the area's vast splendor is perfect for hiking, biking, snowmobiling or scenery-gazing at any time of the year.

We had a great ride meandering through Vail and riding along the creek. We were able to hop off for a cup of coffee at Yeti's in the Village.

Starting from Eagle's Nest, this four-mile challenging trail is geared for intermediate mountain bikers.
Reviewed By Visitor6985 - Jefferson City, United States
This trail is a steady uphill climb at first, but ends up with a breathtaking vista overlooking deep valleys and several snow-capped mountain ranges. Take the gondola up about half the way, then hike the loop from there. A great climb of only moderate difficulty. Pack a light lunch and enjoy the journey.
