Giddyup!
Just outside the resorts of Vail and Beaver Creek, you'll find wide-open meadows, ridges & ranges, aspen forests, sage fields, horses, and cattle ranches... true cowpoke country.
It's easy to enjoy a real Western adventure when you're vacationing at Vail and Beaver Creek. Take a trail ride. Brush a pony. Sing around a campfire. Practice your roping technique. Attend a rodeo. Go elk hunting (in season, with a license). Wear your cowboy hat and boots, and shout for joy: Yeehaw!
