SUMMER IS ON THE WAY!

The days are getting longer and this means the end of another fantastic winter season of Snowmobiling, Spring Skiing and Powder Days here are Nova Guides.  But as is the truth of life, when one door closes, another opens and we are looking forward to the day when our fantastic snow pack has melted to reveal the majestic green grasses and wildflowers that are ever prevalent in the Vail Valley and the Rocky Mountains.

There are numerous activities to enjoy all of the splendor that summers in the Vail Valley have to offer, including hiking, biking, Jeeps, Vail ATV’s tours and Vail Side by Side tours.  Here at Nova Guides we thank that the best way to view the legendary views of Camp Hale, the Continental Divide and surrounding mountain ranges is to head out of a brand new, state of the art Can’Am Side by Side or ATV guided tour.  Nova Guides offers several different summer activities to fit every level of family or group.

Our Vail Jeep tours let you experience the magnificent Rocky Mountains in varied locations within the White River National Forest in our open air Jeeps.  These Jeep Tours will take you to elevations of 12,000 feet, with the option of 15 different trail systems within Eagle County.  This exclusive and expansive territory allows Nova Guides to access remote and scenic areas that others can only dream of.  It also allows us to customize your trip to your preference….do you want a rugged adventure learning about old mining claims and ghost towns?  Or would you prefer a smooth ride with unparalleled views and wildlife? Jeeping has it all and regardless of the weather, the views are second to none.

For the adventurer, Nova Guides offers Vail and Beaver Creek ATV rentals and guided tours. Guests can experience over 50 miles of trails at Camp Hale, the former home of the 10th Mountain Army Division.  Remnants of this incredible history still remains and is a fantastic reminder of the past.  Along with these historic artifacts you will encounter the beautiful alpine meadows with all species of wildflowers, rushing brooks, private lakes, and there is always a chance to view Colorado Wildlife.

We haven’t left out the excitement for the guests who want to experience the latest in off road technology!  Nova Guides is thrilled to offer the newest 2 and 4 seater Can-Am Commander Side by Side off road vehicles.  Whether you choose a guided tour or unguided rental, these 2016 machines will allow you to explore endless miles of aspen groves and high alpine terrain.

We invite you to come out to visit the Vail Valley this summer and learn why even though Vail is known for its World Class Skiing, Snowboarding and Snowmobiling, there is a local secret that returning guests and locals live by.  There is a reason why people move here for the winters and stay for the summers…it doesn’t get more perfect than a summer in the Colorado Rockies!  Endless adventures and Vail family activities await and we can’t wait to share them with you.  Check back next week for an update on other summer outdoor adventures that await your next vacation!
