Like many people who visit mountain destinations like Vail, Colorado primarily in the winter to ski, I had no idea what fantastic vacation retreats they can be in the summer.
Take the gondola up to enjoy the view and activities!
Ask any local and they will tell you in a knowing tone: “You’ll come for the winter, but you’ll stay for the summers.” This certainly seems to be the case in Vail – with beautiful days of 75-85 degree weather with no humidity or bugs, gorgeous vistas and a cornucopia of things to do.
