Get ready for some mountain FUN!
Charlie & Lindsey
Things to Do
Charlie and Lindsey enjoy the summers in Vail almost as much as the winters. There are more activities and things to do in the summer than winter usually offers.
Below is a list of our favorite hikes, restaurants and companies we have used to organize rafting and other experiences in the Vail Valley. Please explore while you are here, our home is truly a beautiful place.
This weekend is not considered peak season yet for Vail summers, there might be some restaurants with unconventional hours. We included some our favorites below that will be open! But you are welcome to explore based on yelp! Everything is great here.
Sage Outdoor Adventures - VAIL Rafting, ATV & Snowmobile Tours
Charlie, Lindsey and Noah have used Sage for some Summer and Winter Activities. Everything is always well planned and all guides have been amazing.
Booth Falls Trailhead
Booths Creek hike is moderately challenging. The hikes is down and back with options to stop at the falls or continue on to the lake.
Piney River Ranch
Piney is a Ranch that is ~40 minutes from Vail (CAR IS REQUIRED) on a dirt road. There is parking at the trailhead and views are beautiful to the lake and falls.
Vail Ski Resort
Hiking is beautiful off of Vail resorts. There are options to take a scenic Gondola Ride (for ~$50) and hike at the top of the mountain....or you can hike up and ride down for free! Hikes to the top are challenging, but yield beautiful views. Trails to the top are Cabin Trail (leaving from Vail) or Berry Picker (leaving from Lionshead). These trails typically take 2-3 hours.
The Little Diner

Epic Discovery
Epic Discovery Center is at the top of Lionshead Gondola. There are plenty of activities for kids of all ages!
