There’s something magical about summer in Vail. The crisp mountain air, endless blue skies, and the sense that adventure is always just a step outside your door.
When guests ask me what makes a perfect summer day, here’s what I tell them:
After your hike, head to The Remedy Bar at the Four Seasons Vail.
Sit on the patio, breathe in that fresh mountain air, and order my favorite cocktail: the Lavender Paloma. Refreshing, floral, and a little unexpected — it's Vail in a glass.
Saturdays are perfect for a stop at the Minturn Market — grab something fresh from local bakeries, find small-batch treasures, and enjoy the charming mountain-town vibe.
On Sundays, stroll through the Vail Farmers Market and Art Show to pick up beautiful pieces like the all-natural soaps crafted by Rise Body Care — a beloved Vail Valley artisan.
And for a special keepsake, don’t miss Squash Blossom Vail — my favorite jewelry boutique. It’s the perfect place to find a timeless piece to remember your trip.
Later, wander over to one of my favorite hidden spots — the covered bridge near Betty Ford Alpine Gardens.
It’s a tucked-away piece of magic, with Gore Creek rushing underneath and wildflowers framing your view.
