Vail, Colorado is one of the premier ski and snowboard vacation destinations in the country, but this Colorado mountain resort has plenty of outdoor recreation in the warm months. Families, friends and couples can experience a Vail getaway complete with air travel, luxurious resort accommodations and a rental car while enjoying white-water rafting, hiking, mountain biking, golf, fishing and sightseeing. Beaver Creek, Aspen, Breckenridge and Summit County are all nearby, making this truly an all-inclusive Colorado mountain vacation.

If you'd rather spend the money on Vail's lift tickets, as notoriously high as the powdery slopes, the Comfort Inn is your budget shoe-in to Denver's ski resorts. On the Beaver Creek shuttle route, the Comfort Inn's guest rooms are large, warm and simple, the perfect place to lay a sore budget behind. When summer warms Denver, the Comfort Inn is also close to the area's famed wet and wild kayaking and rafting spots.
