At the beginning of September, I was lucky enough to travel to Vail, Colorado for the first time. I was in awe of the scenery and the lifestyle of this amazing place. Vail hosts a fascinating juxtaposition of active outdoorsy types, high-end tourism and Colorado locals. Each day, you’ll see people out breathing in the fresh mountain air – biking, hiking and running. While skiing and snow are the area’s biggest attractions, there’s no doubt that summer in the mountains is just as invigorating as winter.
