Rent a mountain bike from one of the many shops in Vail. We recommend buying a day ticket for the Lionshead Gondola so you can take the gondola up, then ride down one of the many designated mountain bike trails (ranging from beginner to expert)
our favorite place for a drink in town
Hiking trails for every ability right out of town. no car required to get to trailheads.
need a 4x4 or AWD car for this one - 12 mi up a dirt road out of vail, but well worth the view! Hike or canoe up here.
modern bar and restaurant with bowling in the back
Great group or family activity! No experience required.
a longer hike just outside of vail. can be accessed via the free town bus system, easier to access with a car.
Over 1 hour from Vail, but ranked as the 2nd best hike in Colorado. Short, but steep. Requires reservations - https://visitglenwood.com/hanginglake/
85mi to Vail, 14mi to Denver. Many shows before/after the wedding.
