Things To Do
Vail Mountain
Vail Mountain offers a plethora of activities for all levels and ages. Whether you just take a gondola ride to the top for lunch, hike down Berry Picker, or take the kids (or yourself!) up to Adventures Ridge to rock climb, alpine slide, or do the ropes course- it has something to offer for everybody! *Note: Gondola tickets are $39/adult and begin running at 9:30 am. You can hike UP Berry Picker free of charge but let it be known this is a 4.5 mile difficult hike with a good incline
Minturn Farmers Market: Saturdays
Just off the mainstreet of Minturn, this market is near and dear to the Woodsmall family as they used to run a booth here! Worth a visit to Minturn. Market includes food vendors, local shops, and Colorado gifts. Runs on Saturdays from 9 am - 2 pm.
Vail Farmers' Market- Sunday Morning
Weekly market in Vail Village with food vendors, local shops, and mountains gifts. Runs on Sundays from 10 am - 3:30 pm. You will likely not be the only ones enjoying this festive market as it gets very crowded during the summer!
Minturn Saloon
One of our favorite towns in Colorado. This bar is an amazing stop and if you are feeling up to it, is an amazing hike from Vail, down into Minturn!
Yeti's Grind Coffee house
Coffee shop in the heart of Vail Village
Betty Ford Alpine Gardens
A lovely walk along the creek brings one to the beautiful Betty Ford Alpine Gardens just east of Vail Village.
Vendetta's Restaurant
Our Favorite Pizza. (Think dive, not fancy). Ask for the 'fat sauce' if you know what's good for ya!
Beaver Creek Rodeo at Traer Creek
Thursday nights during the summer from 6-8 located in Avon, CO just a 10 minute drive from Vail.
Piney River Ranch
Kid-friendly, horseback riding, laser tag, etc.
