The Vail Valley summer guide you didn’t know you needed.
Comment GUIDE for my entire Vail Valley Summer Guide… it’s free and I’ll DM it to you!
Whether you’re hosting out of town guests you want to wow, visiting Vail for the first time, or simply want to enjoy your own zip code… these are the perfect morning pairs worth knowing about.
This is what perfect summer days in Vail Valley actually look like for the people who live here.
Grab a coffee at Yeti’s Grind in Vail Village then take a walk along the Gore Creek Trail through East Vail. Stop into Northside Kitchen in Edwards then spend the morning at Nottingham Lake in Avon, paddleboard, swim, or just soak it in. Pick up breakfast at The Little Diner in Lionshead then stroll through the Vail Farmers Market & Art Show on Meadow Drive on a Sunday. Grab a bite at Sunrise Café in Minturn then head down to the Eagle River for a morning of fly fishing on one of Colorado’s most underrated stretches of water. Grab a cold brew at Two Arrows Coffee in Vail Village then spend the afternoon tubing the Gore Creek.
Every single one of these is within 30 minutes of each other in the Vail Valley. No planning required.
If you’re relocating to Eagle County or considering a move to Vail, save this post. I work with buyers and sellers across Vail, Edwards, and Avon and I’d love to help you find a neighborhood worth waking up in.
