Vail: Day 2

Our plan was to get up early and hike. We didn't so much wake up early, but we did hike. :) Our butler gave us a really good recommendation for a hiking trail...Beaver Lake Trail at Beaver Creek Ski Resort. The trail started at the base of the resort area, but quickly branched out into the wilderness. We loved the trail and seeing Beaver Lake at the top was well worth the long hike up. I think it was a little over 6 miles total.

We missed the aspen's changing by about 2 weeks, though we knew we would before we got here. Seeing just a few of the buttery yellow aspen that were left makes us want to visit again when the trees are changing high in the mountains. Luckily, all of the aspens for about an hour outside of Denver are still yellow, so we were able to see some mountainsides covered with them. So pretty!

After hiking, we relaxed and then went to eat at Blue Moose Pizza, another good restaurant. We really only went there because it was a 30 second walk from our room. :) We were too tired to go anywhere else.
