Summer Heat, Summer Fun Vail, Colorado

Hi, It’s Rosie. How are those Vail, Colorado vacation plans coming along? Getting excited yet?

Welcome to the fourth edition of my Vail Travel Tips. It’s interactive, so you can plan your Vail vacation with me and WhatToDo.info As I’ve told you before, I have the travel bug, and I love the Colorado high country, especially in summer. I’ve lived in Vail since the early ’70s and have visited many countries and lived around the world, but I always come home. There are so many activities up here for all ages of “kids” that checking out the website is the best way to pick and choose.

Go to vail.whattodo.info and look at the possibilities under “Family Fun.” Normally, activities are varied enough that there’s plenty for everyone to do. For scheduled events, look at the our Home Page and click on “Calendar” or click on it here and go directly to the calendar. There are weekly rodeos, library story hours, kids’ camps and children’s theatre. There’s a free concert at the Ford Amphitheater every Tuesday evening, a wonderful spot for a picnic. Classical music comes for the month of July – check the calendar for Bravo! Vail Music Festival. The Vail International Dance Festival showcases ballet dancers from around the world in early August. Not to miss. You can pedal a paddle boat on Avon Lake just about any time.

Wear those kids out, but you may wear yourself out, too. The list goes on: Adventure Ridge in Vail, arcades and games, water parks, ice cream shops, a climbing wall, gymnastics. You get the drift. This is a wonderful place for children to grow up, and children who come here for a visit will want to linger. It just might be time to find a grassy knoll, a coffee shop, a park bench or have a nap in your hotel.

Happy travels and Welcome, Rosie

Things to do in Vail CO. Rosie's Travel Tips

Hi, I’m Rosie. Welcome to my Travel Tips page for your Vail, Colorado vacation. It’s interactive, so you can plan your vacation with me and WhatToDo.info. I love to travel, and I love the high country. I’ve lived in Vail since the ’70s, have traveled and lived around the world, but I always come home. Have you ever been to Vail? If you have, let me know what you did on your last Vail vacation. It’s hard to fit it all in, don’t you think? Probably time to come back. If you have questions about visiting these mountains in all their natural beauty, WhatToDo.info and I can find the answers for you. Together, we have comprehensive resources to share with you. This is your chance to interact with What To Do’s lead blog author. Share your experiences and find out how to have a memorable vacation. Finding lodging is your first task. If you don’t know where you want to stay, check out our maps and lodging site and last-minute deals that show what’s cooking in different parts of the valley. Go online and look for the best deals on accommodations at WhatToDo.info. While you search, look for activities that you’d love to do once you unpack your bags. Some days are perfect for adventure; others might be lazy days in the sun or at the spa. There are short outings and big hikes. Talk to me. Personally, when I have free time I like to go for a hike or take out my road bike and pedal the length of the valley. Much of the bike path is along the Eagle River, and it just makes me happy to be there. But maybe you like something else. What kinds of adventures do you look for when you travel? Maybe your partner likes to golf, but you and the kids want to explore. We are connected with hundreds of businesses and service providers who can help plan your day – your entire Vail trip, for that matter. In my opinion, Vail has it all in summer – its clear skies and natural setting invite vacationers to try something new or do the thing they love. Horseback riding or hiking. Biking or golf. Kayaking or a hot air balloon ride. Write to me about your interests and specific things you might want to do to make this your best vacation. Remember, this is Colorado high country, and it’s a wonderland out there. View More of Rosie’s Vail Travel Tips at WhatToDo.info Blog
