Experience one of Colorado's most iconic mountain destinations on a relaxed adventure that's perfect for guests of all ages and abilities. Nestled beneath the towering Gore Range, Piney Lake offers breathtaking scenery and some of the Vail Valley's best opportunities to spot moose and other wildlife. With Piney River Ranch expected to close after this season, this may be one of your last chances to experience this legendary location. Along the way, enjoy a comfortable off-road journey, access to clean flush restrooms, and the option to relax with lunch or a handcrafted cocktail overlooking one of the most spectacular alpine lakes in the Rockies.
Hike or bike miles of scenic mountain trails, stroll through the charming European-inspired Vail Village, ride the Eagle Bahn Gondola for panoramic views, and enjoy world-class dining, shopping, and outdoor concerts. Fly fish pristine rivers, explore wildflower-filled meadows, or simply unwind beside Gore Creek. With cool mountain temperatures, breathtaking scenery, and activities for every age, Vail is one of Colorado's premier summer destinations.
After a scenic drive along historic Red Sandstone Road, you'll arrive at the crystal-clear waters of Piney Lake, surrounded by towering 13,000-foot peaks. Spend time hiking around the lake, paddling across the clear blue mountain water, enjoying lunch at the rustic lodge, or simply soaking in one of the most photographed views in the Vail Valley. It's the perfect escape for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone looking to experience the Colorado Rockies at their finest.
