If you're flying into Denver and looking for things to do in the city, we love the botanical gardens! In fact, we almost got married here.
In the mood for a mild hike? Check out Piney Lake! Fun fact: It's where Nick and Madison got engaged. Make sure to have a car with all wheel drive because the road there is unpaved.
There a ton of great hikes for all ability levels in the Vail Valley. Check out AllTrails to find one that best strikes your fancy. Please make sure to hydrate!
First time in the area? Check out Vail and Beaver Creek villages. There's plenty of shops, restaurants, and often, live music.
Choose from 17 golf courses in the Vail area during summer months. Vail Golf Club is the only course within Vail proper. It’s known as Vail Valley’s “most walkable” course and is open to the public. Nestled into Beaver Creek Mountain, Beaver Creek Golf Club at Breckenridge ranks well among golfers. It’s known for its narrow, challenging fairways and pretty mountain views. The par-3 EagleVail Golf Club in nearby Avon is a good choice for beginners. It’s a more affordable option, too.
Looking for a local thrill? Vail has it's own alpine coaster.
Trying to get your cowboy on? Channel your inner Calamity Jane with a horseback ride.
Trying to go full Colorado? There are a ton of options along the river. Whitewater rafting tours abound in Vail in summer. Consider booking a river run adventure with Clear Creek Rafting Co. on your way up to Vail if driving from Denver. Looking for something more local? Check out Numbers Extreme Whitewater Rafting or Brown Canyon Whitewater Rafting. Please always keep safety in mind and avoid a rafting trip on the day of our wedding as trips often are lengthy.
