Staff Picks: Summer's Best Hiking, Biking, and Brews

The snow is melting, the days are getting longer, and Memorial Day Weekend marks the unofficial start of summer! So, our staff are pumping up bike tires and dusting off hiking boots in anticipation of hitting the trails. For many of us at Moving Mountains, summer is our favorite season in the Colorado Rockies.

We tapped into the local knowledge of our team members in Breckenridge, Steamboat, and the Vail Valley to compile a guide to our favorite trails to hike and bike. And at the end of a fun and sun-filled day in the mountains, where do we all head to celebrate our adventures and put back a cold local craft beer.
