During the summer months in Vail, the village and the mountain come alive. Everything you need is within an easy stroll down a cobblestone street, which means parents can relax while kids explore at their own pace. Gore Creek winds through the heart of town, cool and clear all summer. Trails begin just beyond the coffee shop, or two gondolas can carry you to bike trails, wildflower hikes, and views of the snow capped Gore Range. The plazas fill with live music, shops, street dining, and festivals most nights of the week.

As the day winds down, some of Colorado’s best restaurants are just steps away, bringing everyone 
back together to share stories from the day.
