For such a huge resort, not much is visible from the valley floor. You'll need to get higher to enjoy the huge views. It's at least 2,200' to the summit ridge (on the Lionshead side), and not that easy at this altitude! Taking the gondola gets you to the better trails faster, but it's not cheap unless you have a ski pass (which includes summer usage for free). It's free to ride down if you get yourself up.
Visiting Tips
Trails at the top usually open for July 4th. Wildflowers start to peak in mid-July most years and extend through August. The aspens are spectacular starting in mid-September, and the crowds are all gone by then.
Parking in both structures is free during the summer. It fills up on weekends, but when that happens, overflow parking is allowed on the frontage roads.

Food & Drink
After the Ride: Local Favorites
Game Creek Club
If your with a bunch of dudes, drink espresso martinis. Very manly, and make sure to talk about scamming on females at loud volumes... Spring break
Big Bear Bistro
The Arugula and Mona Lisa salads we're good.
Vendetta's
Multi-level restaurant offers whatever experience you are looking for: pizza bar, sit-down restaurant and big, sunny back deck.
George Restaurant & Pub
A subterranean must-visit hot spot. The whole town can be quiet but this place will still be swarming with locals and visitors alike.
Yama Sushi
Really fresh sushi. I loved the tuna tacos and tuna tartare. The space is small though so make sure you have a reservation.
Pazzo's Pizza
Ok pizza. One of the best cheap meals in vail.
The Bully Ranch
Stellar! Really enjoyed our Coldwell Banker Previews International Summit at this location!
Alpenrose
Fat Tuesday $2 coors light! $5 mimosas! Get some!!
Minturn Saloon
Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. Get a margarita.
Sticky Fingers Cafe And Bakery
Cinnamon rolls great, don't bother with ice cream
Kirby Cosmos
Jsjskdkdskendkxmsmsoxksksjdjsjaosofkfnbbxndodkcklkdjeuuididkdood
Blue Moose Pizza
If you don't order the Autumn Pizza you're an idiot.
The Little Diner
The place seats 19. So if you're trying to catch first chair, there will most likely be a line and count from the beginning of the line. I was here on a Sunday and I was the 20/21st in line!
Moe's Original BBQ
The chicken wings are amazing. So is the jalapeño corn bread. Come early, there tends to be long lines.
Westside Cafe and Market
The Captain Crunch French Toast is the signature dish... for good reason. Great breakfast - be prepared to wait on weekends.
Rimini Gelato
I think I went here every day while on my trip. Love their hot chocolate, gelato, cookies and sandwiches (breakfast and savory). Super nice people too!
The Dusty Boot Steakhouse and Saloon
Skip this joint, $7 each for side salid and chips and salsa. Far under par to "boot"... Two thumbs down.
