World-class skiing in endless back bowls is the first thing that comes to mind when most people think of Vail, and that’s certainly true, but this town of lift operators and bartenders mingling with professionals and celebrities have many stories to tell.

There are endless ways to entertain yourself in this ski town that boasts an ideal mix of outdoor and urban adventures. Many other sports are enjoyed here: golfing, cycling, white-water rafting and kayaking are just a few. Well-maintained courses and long, paved trails throughout town and up Vail Pass have made it easy to enjoy these pursuits.

The nearby 10th Mountain Division Hut System is a great excuse to get into the back-country and the surrounding White River National Forest is full of trails. Water activities are varied at Gore Creek (kayaking), Eagle River (rafting) and six mountain lakes (fishing).

Festivals fill up the summer schedule, but even without something to celebrate there’s always something going on at Vail’s 100-plus bars and restaurants.
