During the summer, ride a chairlift to the mountaintop and admire the striking beauty of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. Bike and hike along marked trails or speed around the mountain on a 3,000-foot-long (900-metre) bobsled track. Play a round of 18 holes on a pristine putting course and try mining for gems.
