An outdoorsy mother/son duo (a teen age 15) from Boston, MA spent their summer vacation in Vail.  They let us know it was perfect for their needs.  They stayed at the Four Seasons in the heart of Vail Village.  The family found the property to be nice and clean with an awesome staff.  They really liked the central location.  The rooms here are very spacious and there is a beautiful spa, gym and pool.  Internet access is included.  The duo enjoyed a variety of outdoor activities including daily hikes with Paragon Guides which they highly recommend.  In the summer Paragon also offers llama trekking, rock climbing, fly fishing and mountain biking.  The family also enjoyed a white water rafting trip with Timberline Tours.  This company offers family friendly rafting, stand up paddle boards and jeep tours.  For meals, they really enjoyed the hotel breakfast, lunch on the hiking trails and dinners in Vail Village where they found a nice variety of options ranging from pizza to fine dining.
