I spent the weekend in Vail a few weeks ago, and was so struck by how beautiful it is in the summer! I had only ever been in the winter for skiing, but really shouldn’t have been surprised by how amazing it is in the summer. Lionshead District and Vail Village were packed with great restaurants and shopping. All the villages were impeccably kept, and brimming with beautiful flowers & views reminiscent of a quaint European ski town. The Vail Farmer’s Market was also incredible, hands down the best Farmer’s Market I’ve been to.
