where is the best hiking around the vail, beaver creek area?
Article concluding that the most popular tourist hiking trails (Booth Falls and Shrine Ridge) are also the best. Quote: “They both have beautiful, knockout destinations. They’re both quick hikes you can finish before lunch. And while they are by no means easy strolls up a hill, they aren’t grueling death marches, and even those of questionable fitness can make their way up after a few rests and a granola bar. Booth Falls happens to be the very first trail listed in the Vail Hiker. Shrine Ridge, with 360-degree views of Colorado mountain ranges and a wild-flower lined path, is a top recommendation by many concierges in the area.” Sources: http://www.vaildaily.
