The Beaver Creek Overlook Trail in Avon, Colorado is a moderate difficulty hiking trail that spans approximately 5.38 miles. The trail is well-marked and primarily used for hiking, walking, and nature trips. It is accessible year-round, but is best used from April until October. The trail offers a variety of natural features and scenic landmarks. It begins in a dense forest of pine and aspen trees, gradually ascending to an elevation of 2,047 feet. Along the way, hikers will encounter a series of switchbacks, providing panoramic views of the surrounding Beaver Creek area. The trail's most notable feature is the overlook point, which offers a sweeping view of the Beaver Creek Resort and the Gore Range. Hikers will also pass by a small, clear stream and several large rock formations. Wildlife sightings, including deer and various bird species, are common. For those planning to hike the Beaver Creek Overlook Trail, it is recommended to wear sturdy hiking boots due to the trail's rocky terrain. Also, due to the trail's elevation, it's important to stay hydrated and take breaks as needed. The trail is dog-friendly, but pets must be kept on leash.

Backpack to Bubble Lake

The Gore's are a rough and remote section of the Eagle's Nest Wilderness. What this trip may lack in overall miles, it more than makes up for in elevation gain, scrambling, boulder hopping, and overall hard miles on the trail. Every trip I have had the pleasure of taking into the Gore Range has left me sore, battered and bruised. They also leave me with some of the best and most rewarding vi...

Starting in Lionshead, Vail, CO take the Gondola 19 up to the top of the mountain and head west straight out past Chair 26 and towards the Vail Mountain Wedding deck. Past the deck there will be a trail that you can follow out onto the edge of the mountain called the W Vail Trail. This trail will provide a route to a clearer view of the Rocky Mountains and is a great little hike for catching th...

Ski the Minturn Mile

The Minturn Mile is best accessed after spending the day at Vail, but can be done so with skins and skis from the base. This description will assume you have access to the lifts at Vail by parking at one of the many resort/town parking areas. From either the top of Game Creek Express or Wildwood Express, follow the ridge southwest until you reach a point where you can either descend to your l...

Ski Notch Mountain

What's not to love - you'll be skiing in the off season! We did this hike/ski in late June, our skis, boots, and avi gear packed with our hiking shoes on our feet. May could potentially be the most opportune time for this adventure. The hike you will take is the traditional Notch Mountain Hike. The hike starts at the Fall Creek trailhead off Tigiwon Rd, near Minturn Colorado. I'd advise having ...

Scramble the Halo Ridge on Mt. Holy Cross

The Halo Ridge is by no means the easiest route to the summit of Mt. Holy Cross, but it is definitely the most interesting and scenic.
