As the mountains close for skiing and we patiently await summer weather and events, shoulder season is a time to appreciate the quiet serenity of the Vail Valley. Take advantage of fewer visitors out and about and enjoy this early spring!
Here are some shoulder season activity suggestions to help you get started with this new season:
Hiking
Lower elevation trails are likely to dry up first and can be excellent on sunny days. Try these trails:
- Meadow Mountain (Minturn)
- Betty Ford Alpine Gardens (Vail)
- Miller Ranch Open Space (Edwards)


Indoor Exercise Class
Try an indoor exercise class to stay active and limber through this off season. Some of our favorite locations for classes are:
- The Athletic Club at the Westin Riverfront (Avon)
- Revolution Power Yoga (Avon)
- Gravity Haus (Vail Village)
- Pure Barre (Edwards)



There is still so much to enjoy in the Vail Valley during this off-season period. Try out bird watching and the world defrosts, take the family bowling, or host a board game night with your friends. The possibilities are endless with shoulder season activities!
