Vail

From animal tracks to the mountain pine beetle, the Nature Discovery Center is your source for all things wild and includes guided snowshoe tours with an expert naturalist.

Play in the afternoon and well into the night at Adventure Ridge with ski bikes, a kid's snowmobile track, rip-roaring tubing lanes, and more. Adventure Ridge is a snow park the size of a football stadium.
