My husband had a business trip to Vail that I tagged along to many years ago and we said for a long time that we’d love to go back. A few years ago we made it back there and it’s been a favorite summer getaway for us! Our Anniversary is August and although I’m typically more of a beach person, the weather in August makes Vail the perfect getaway. The cooler temps and a break from all the typical summer things is just the escape we love!
We flew into Denver and spent the night there before driving to Vail.
On our way from Denver to Vail, we stopped at St. Mary’s Glacier to hike. There are a few different parking lots off the road to park at. You need cash (I think it was $5 or $10) to leave in a box to pay for parking. The path is obvious and there have always been a handful of people doing the hike. Once you get to the top, this is the view. So pretty!
