Rocky Mountains

The storied Rocky Mountains have for centuries been a symbol of America’s Western heritage. Today, they also conjure visions of unrivaled ski vacations and celebrated resort towns nestled among the peaks of this famous range. Places such as Colorado’s Steamboat Springs and Park City, Utah are synonymous with some of the best skiing and snowboarding in the world. But it’s also important to remember the Rockies know how to play in the summer too!

After the snow melts, you’ll find hiking, horseback riding, hot air balloon rides, kayaking and other adventures. Off the slopes, cultural attractions include film and jazz festivals as well as art galleries selling local and international art. For families, there is seemingly no end to activities, which include miniature golf, trout fishing, and biking. In fact, Steamboat Springs was singled out by SKI Magazine for having the top family programs available. The town is also popular with visitors for preserving much of its Old Western heritage.

Whether you are enjoying runs on one of “Steamboats” six peaks, boarding in a Park City half-pipe, or doing something entirely unique like a thrilling bobsled run with a former Olympic champion, there is no doubt resort towns here save some of their most amazing experiences for the winter months. Here you’ll find world famous runs suitable for all skill levels, as well as schools, rental facilities and even backcountry skiing opportunities. And après-ski, entertainment is as bountiful as the powder on the slopes, with cozy lodges and restaurants set alongside boutiques and shops where you can find everything from mountain gear to the latest designer fashions.
