You’ll likely discover this on your own as you explore the town, but if not, be sure to take a stroll along the Gore Creek Path. It runs right through town and offers a peaceful, scenic experience. Bonus points if you dip your hand in the water to feel its cool temperature!

With Summer Tubing, a Mountain Coaster, Rock Wall Climbing, and much more, Epic Discovery @ the top of Eagle Bahn Gondola brings fun for everyone!

We had a BLAST! Our instructor was so fun and happy. This will be a fun beginning to your day and a close drive from Vail's city center.

Up for a challenge? Enjoy this 2,000+ ft climb that you don't need to hop in the car to get to. Access the trailhead near Eagle Bahn gondola in Lionshead Village. The hike is 3.2 miles each way. However, you can take the gondola back down the mountain into town for free.

If you have a car, you can make a day trip to Piney. It is up a dirt road and takes about 45 minutes. The payoff is worth it! You can hike, paddleboard, canoe, or spend a day by the water or in the water fishing. We initially wanted our wedding here, but it did not work out logistically.

*Piney is where our homepage photo was taken!

Vail Farmers' Market is on Sunday from 9:30 am - 3 pm. It offers delicious bites and art from Colorado locals! Super fun!

Hop on a gondola and ascend Vail Mountain to outlooks of towering peaks and expansive valleys. Whether you start from Vail Village or Lionshead, both the Eagle Bahn Gondola (#19) and Gondola One (#1) sweep you above the trees for an uninterrupted view of the Rockies. In the summer, you’ll see fields of wildflowers and thick forests.

We love to visit this whiskey room! It is located right on Gore Creek, and the staff is terrific.
