Description
The town of vail and has plenty of luxury hotels and exquisite restaurants but nothing beats the beautiful Vail Nature Hikes. Hiking the surrounding area is the best way to enjoy the wildlife that made our valley the touristic destination that it is. Charming aspen groves and pine forests make for great refuge from the hot summers and protection from the wind in the winter. Hiking gives you the opportunity to observe an overabundance of wildlife from golden eagles and red tail hawks to marmots and mule deer.
In order to witness the most wildlife it is key to escape from the crowds. Our guides have less traveled trails that will give you just that opportunity.
Possible Wildlife
- Bald Eagle
- Grey Jay
- Pine Crosbeak
- Red Fox
