Don’t be fooled by the wintery name; Snowmass, Colorado, has plenty of outdoor activities for family travelers this summer.
Located in the center of Snowmass’s village, Limelight Snowmass offers the perfect home base for families looking for a trip filled with summertime thrills. The property recently launched a new Family Adventure Package, where families who book at least three nights receive a $400 credit to the Lost Forest, a summertime playground featuring zip lining, ropes courses, the Breathtaker Alpine Coaster, hiking trails, a high-mountain fishing pond, disc golf, paintballing, in-room s’mores and more.
Other adventurous summer activities include:
