Here are some of our favorite things to do in Vail in the summer:

Forest Flyer Mountain Coaster

Perfect for thrill-seekers and those looking to take their outdoor adventures to new heights, the Forest Flyer Mountain Coaster is sure to bring an exciting twist to your summer in Vail. Wind your way through 3,400 feet of Vail's lush and mountainous landscape. The summer season kicks off on June 19th, so make sure you get your ticket soon. See you on the way down!

Hiking

One of the best summer activities in Vail is exploring a hiking trail! The Vail Valley is home to plenty of gorgeous hiking trails. One of the most popular is right in Lionshead! Berrypicker is a steep trail that takes you up the slopes of the resort. It is considered a challenging trail, but an option for newer hikers is to ride the gondola up and take this hiking path back down to Lionshead! Another popular trail in the Vail Valley is Booth Falls! This out-and-back style trail leads hikers to a stunning waterfall and winds through stunning wildflowers and aspen groves. Get out on the trails this summer to explore these trails and more! 

Horseback Riding
