When you visit Vail Cascade during the summer, take a walk or bike ride along the scenic, paved trail located behind the hotel alongside Gore Creek. If you follow the trail east, it will take you to Vail and Lionshead Villages, the Vail Golf Course and even over Vail Pass to Summit County. Taken west, the path leads to several parks with lively playgrounds and picnic facilities.
If you want to rent a bicycle, Charter Sports offers bikes and a variety of other summer sporting equipment right here at the hotel.
