In getting to know the locals, many of whom had planned to spend just one season living the mountain lifestyle, I heard one phrase over and over: &#8220;I came for the winters, but <em>stayed<\/em> for the summers.&#8221; If you&#8217;ve ever visited Colorado ski towns in summer, you&#8217;ll know why this sentiment rings\u00a0true.<\/p>\n<p>While the dream of knee-deep fresh powder may bring the majority of annual visitors to the slopes of destinations like Breckenridge, Steamboat and Aspen, it\u2019s the mild temps and endless options for outdoor adventures that beckon visitors to Colorado ski towns in the summer months. Here\u2019s a look at some of my favorite places to plan a Rocky Mountain vacation when you\u2019ll be packing your shorts instead of your skis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/psi?force=blog\/2015\/06\/hawaii-moped-5-perfect-itineraries\/&amp;GCID=78142\">Related: Are you an outdoors thrill seeker?

In this historic mountain town you can \u201cslide\u201d down the ski run on its Alpine SuperSlide, with your choice of three 2,600 foot long tracks. Or race down the mountain on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breckenridge.com\/activities\/gold-runner-alpine-coaster.aspx\">Gold Runner Coaster<\/a>, on 2,500 feet of elevated track through the forest. These are both part of the Breckenridge Mountain Resort Summer Fun Park, which also features the new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breckenridge.com\/activities\/tenmile-flyer.aspx\">TenMile Flyer Zipline<\/a> and 4&#215;4 open-air safari-style tours up Peaks 7 and 8 with spectacular views of the Ten Mile range. For a slower pace, explore the mountain by foot on a guided hiking tour, take an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breckenridge.com\/activities\/segway-tours.aspx\">off-road Segway tour<\/a>, or putt your way around one of the world\u2019s most scenic mini golf courses. Kids will also love trying to beat the clock through Colorado\u2019s largest human maze, and experiencing the history of this town firsthand by panning for gemstones.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/psi?force=hotels\/United_States--CO\/Breckenridge.hd4690\/&amp;GCID=78142\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-35010\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Breckenridge.jpg\" alt=\"Breckenridge\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Breckenridge.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Breckenridge-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Breckenridge-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Breckenridge-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/psi?force=hotels\/United_States--CO\/Keystone.hd4786\/&amp;GCID=78142\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Keystone<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong>Just 1.5 hours from Denver International Airport, the ease of getting to this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/psi?force=hotel\/United_States--CO\/Keystone\/Keystone_Lodge_&amp;_Spa_by_Keystone_Resort.h13813\/&amp;GCID=78142\">family-friendly destination<\/a> is just one of many things to love about coming here during the summer.
