Visitors to Vail Valley will be amazed by the sheer beauty of this Rocky Mountain playground. After our first ski trip there more than two decades ago, my entire extended family fell in love with the clean air, active lifestyle and the endless list of things to do. And we have returned time and again for family weddings—my brother was married in Vail, and I said my vows in Beaver Creek—birthdays, anniversaries and any other excuse we could think of to get back to this alpine paradise. It’s so easy to do because, as one season fades into the next, there is something to entice everyone at any age. No matter which time of year you visit, bring your sunscreen. With more than 300 days of sunshine, the high altitude provides a heavy dose of solar power to supercharge your stay. See Also | |
