Valentine’s Day in Summit County
Visitors to Summit County for Valentine’s Day will have a plethora of amorous adventures at their fingertips. Many of these are unique to the natural beauty and landscape of the area:
Beautiful sunsets over the Rockies are unparalleled in their ability to awaken the spirit of romance. Take in a majestic sunset with your valentine, and then head to the slopes for some night skiing at one of the area’s premier ski resorts, including such locations as Keystone.
Taking in couples skating at one of the area’s ice rinks is a great time to hold hands and snuggle a little closer. Options abound such as the Keystone outdoor rink or the Stephen C. West ice rink at Breckenridge.
Strike out on one of the many local cross-country ski trails, taking in simply amazing scenery while enjoying time together in well-groomed and marked trails that suit every level of athletic ability. If you don’t have your own ski equipment, don’t allow that to stop you – rentals are plentiful and easily arranged. There are several Nordic centers in the immediate area presenting opportunities for couples to take in the gorgeous scenery while enjoying an outdoor adventure at your own pace.
What is more romantic (and less stressful) than a ride in a horse-drawn carriage? Head over to the Breckenridge stables for daily carriage rides that are available even without a reservation.
Want to take that one more romantic step farther? Visit the Frisco Adventure Park for the Two Below Zero horse-drawn sleigh rides. Sip on hot chocolate as you enjoy the scenery with your sweetheart. For a more intimate and private sleigh ride, make an advanced reservation. Dinner rides are also available that include your unforgettable sleigh ride, a 3-course home-cooked meal, and live entertainment.
