Things To Do
Piney Lake
We hope you'll check out one of the most breathtaking views in all of Colorado! Piney is located just twelve miles north of Vail Village, surrounded by thousands of acres of back country wilderness within the White River National Forest. The Piney River Ranch offers a variety of activities and summer fun for the entire family. From fly-fishing, hiking, canoeing, stand-up paddle boarding, waterfalls or simply relaxing by the fire pit, Piney has something for everyone. They also offer lodging for our overnight guests and an on-site restaurant that boasts the best smoked BBQ around.
Booth Falls Hike
This is one of the absolute best hikes in Vail and was actually the first hike that Jack and I did together. If you look hard enough, you can find an Aspen tree off of the trail that has our initials carved in it! This hike is about 4 miles and classified as "hard" by AllTrails.
The Little Diner
Definitely stop at the Little Diner in Lionshead for the best breakfast in all of Vail. They will put a little bit of Bailey's in your coffee if you ask nicely.
The George Restaurant & Pub
One of our favorite places to grab a drink in Vail Village - The George is truly one of a kind! Definitely a dive bar. Ski boots inside are encouraged.
Vail Farmers' Market
Head on down to the Vail Village on Sunday morning after the wedding for one of the best and most extensive farmer's markets in Colorado. Don't miss the food trucks and make sure you check out all of the local vendors. Our personal favorite is Helga's Homemade Pies.
