Mountain Adventure Awaits In Beaver Creek

Beaver Creek, Colorado, is a mountain resort area with a distinctly European styling. Nestled in the heart of the Rockies, just outside Vail and a stone's throw from Breckenridge, Beaver Creek offers a different experience for travelers who want to take in the grandeur without sacrificing world-class service.

Beaver Creek is a relatively new resort area, having opened to the public in 1980. Unlike other resort areas, Beaver Creek contains a master-planned look that doesn't necessarily look "planned." The village was modeled after the famous ski resorts found in Switzerland's St. Moritz, Spain's Val d'Aran and Italy's Cortina. Within the village itself, visitors will find a number of different hotels, condominiums and lodges. Prices run the gamut, making Beaver Creek a resort that is within reach of almost anyone.

With its European charm, Rocky Mountain vistas and Western hospitality, Beaver Creek has quickly transformed itself from a newcomer on the scene to a major destination for travelers year-round. It has even gained some major attention in the skiing community. The resort played host to the World Ski Championships in 1989. The slopes in the area are considered among the finest in the United States.

Visitors to Beaver Creek will find the resort is ideal for getting away from it all no matter the weather outside. Some of its biggest attractions include:

• Golf: Beaver Creek is home to several golf courses, including the Beaver Creek golf club. It is also close enough to visit other world-class courses in the area. Tourists will find the region offers fantastic play on 18-hole courses and views that will take golfers' breath away.
• Horseback riding: There is nothing quite like taking in the Colorado landscape on horseback. Beaver Creek makes this possible in a number of ways. Every May through September, a variety of daily rides and other activities are available from the resort. Specialty rides include basic tours, a picnic ride, a full-day trip to Beaver Lake Ridge, a dinner-time ride and even a fly fishing trip.
• Chairlift rides: It's possible to take in the breathtaking views from the sky almost year-round. The lifts run in the summer, weather permitting, to ensure visitors get a great view of the mountains.
• Hiking: The resort provides guided hikes and historic excursions that couple driving and hiking together to ensure visitors get to see not only Beaver Creek, but also Breckenridge, Leadville, Aspen and more.
• Special events: A full calendar of events keeps the Beaver Creek resort hopping. From wintertime festivals to summer affairs, such as Fourth of July celebrations, the Rocky Mountain Antique Festival and the Beaver Creek Rodeo, there is always something going on in Beaver Creek.
• Winter activities: As breathtaking as Beaver Creek is in the summer and spring, the resort really comes alive in the winter. During the colder months, visitors will find some of the best skiing in the world, coupled with plenty of opportunities to skate, snowboard and more. Offering a winter wonderland like no other, Colorado is the winter destination of so many for a whole host of very good reasons.

Coupling Rocky Mountain charm with a European style, the Beaver Creek resort offers a little something for everyone. With activities going on year-round, this destination is as ideal for anyone with a love for the great outdoors and a desire to see some of the most breathtaking sights America has to offer.
