Consistently ranked as one of the country's most popular ski resorts, Vail is the big one, the largest single mountain ski resort in the US, covering 5,500 acres of wide open and forested terrain. Vail has been a celebrated super resort since the 1970's, when it was propelled to stardom by President Gerald Ford, whose family vacationed there. Off the slopes, Vail is a compact replica of a Tyrolean village, full of restaurants, hotels, and shops. Vail is not limited to skiing. In warm weather, you can trade your skis for mountain bikes and hiking boots and hit the trails again. The streams and lakes nearby are rich with rainbow, brook and trout. Horseback riding is one of the best ways to explore the rugged terrain. For white knuckle adventure, try river rafting. The Eagle River just a few miles west of Vail, offers thrilling white water.
