I loved the sounds from the flowing stream that hugged the trail we walked on. Just as we were ready to end our walk, the Nature Center had opened up, so we stepped inside. The staff member who was in there was super nice and answered the many questions we had about wildlife in the area. There were taxidermied animals from the area, so it was neat to learn about them, too. They had plenty of reading materials, too. This was walking distance from the Manor Lodge, Ford Park, Betty Ford Alpine Gardens and Vail Village. If you're looking for an area to come walk, while you're visiting the area, this is a perfect place to stroll while drinking your morning coffee or tea. I hope to back in the near future.

The area was so lovely as we walked right next to Gore Creek. It was a beautiful, natural spot a very short way from the center of Vail Village . Parking was easy and the free buses took us right to the trail leading down to the Nature Center. The wildflower walk was about 1 hour but she told us about 2 or 3 other loop trails in the area. We will be back to see more.

We stayed overnight at an Airbnb in Breck to make a weekend trip out of the adventure, leaving at 6am to make it to the top of Quandary by early afternoon. There was a volunteer standing at the base of the ascent to warn everyone about clouds coming in. It did get chilly at the end of August and sprinkle quite heavily by the end of our hike. So glad my friend had hiking poles, because I wouldn't have survived without them. The views are beautiful at the top, and we even got to see adorable mountain goats!! Haven't decided whether or not I'll do another 14er, but at least I did one. Definitely consult friends or the internet for advice if this is your first. It's a struggle if you have weak knees like I do, but take your time and start early if you can. Then take a picture with the sign at the top so you can show off on social media afterwards, obviously.

As a result, we had to search for a new property at a much later date, when most of the good options and reasonable prices were already gone. Based on our experience, I would not recommend booking with this resort if you want confidence that your confirmed reservation will actually be honored. This situation created unnecessary stress and seriously disrupted our vacation planning.

With snow on the mountains, you in shorts and a t-shirt, and a beer in hand, running with the wind under a spinnaker, there's absolutely nothin' better.

And maybe no other place on earth that would treat you better. With some of the most beautiful views of the Ten Mile and Gore Ranges imagineable, tis truly a privilege to live in Colorado.

The next portion of the trail isn't well marked, but if you follow the asphalt road up until the 2nd no trespassing sign, it's there. Don't be like us and walk through the neighborhood instead (which was pretty, but not our intention). Also, this trail has a lot of scree, and beyond a nice view of the town, doesn't have much going for it.

We enjoyed this was fairly close to where we stayed in Breckenridge as well. The trail follows the B&B trail, so you park at that trailhead. There's a sign on the road once you get onto the I paved gravel road (French Gulch - technically turns into a county road it looks like?). There were mountain bikers and hikers. No electric vehicles, so that made it nice and safe. The first couple of directional markers don't specifically say "Reiling Dredge." Follow B&B left from the parking lot, though. You'll finally see a marker that notes Reiling Dredge and you're almost there! Read more here - https://www.bookbreck.com/best-easy-hikes/. Take water, and if you aren't used to elevation, give yourself some time to acclimate. We live higher than sea level, but this was more than double our "normal" altitude. My husband and I kept wondering why we needed to catch our breath as often as we did, and the two year old wanted to be carried more than walking (which is NOT typical for him).

Anyone with ATA knowledge knows this is how to easily die. So be careful in the Winter. Over all this is an amazing place right off of I70. Easy drive from Denver etc. Highly recommened.

We checked in around 8 pm. Got a very warm welcome from Kyle at check-in and from Graham at Concierge. Parking is easy and convenient. The room was amazing. We've stayed at places from hostels, to rundown roadside motels to five-star resorts and we'd have to say that our stay here was all around great. The restaurant was great for a last minute meal, but didn't have a ton of offerings nor did it have value priced meals. It also closes at 9 pm which isn't ideal if you tend to eat late. The facilities were all great. Had we not bought into the property, we would definitely return again for a quick getaway.

They love dogs at this hotel great choice if you want to bring your dog however I just wanted a room that smells clean. They got me another room which was fine. Reason for the 2 stars instead of 3 is because the check out time at 10AM is a joke considering check in is at 4PM - What is up with these hotels creeping the check out earlier and earlier does anyone remember just a few years ago when it was standard that when you checked in at noon and checked out at noon yes they will let you check out at noon for an extra $50 what a rippoff! And watch out they will try and sell you a time share when you check in...
