VAIL, COLORADO
Vail boasts more than 5,000 acres of skiable
land in White River National Forest, with 15 trails
from two to 18 miles. Hike along this natural
treasure, where wildflowers sway across the
vast grasslands like colored specks against a
green living canvas. Along the trails, you’ll be
amazed at all the scents swirling through the
air, as well as the sights: From elks and moose
ambling through the forests to the mountainous
vistas, your time here will definitely be eye-
opening. And for those wishing for a different
vantage point, the trails are ideal for mountain
biking and horseback riding, as well.
As glorious as the trails are, Vail also has the
science and artistry of fly fishing, whether by
waders or by boat. Our agency recommends
an excursion through the Grand Hyatt Vail,
during which the peace of river fishing in a
shimmering body of water will be almost as
rewarding as catching a prized bass, whitefish
or trout — almost. And for those wishing to
explore Vail itself, take an art walk to observe
the public art works in town.
