1. Hike a Fourteener – The Rocky Mountains are flush with good hiking. Several of the highest and best peaks are known as Fourteeners as their heights exceed the benchmark of fourteen thousand feet. Longs Peak, Mount Elbert and Pikes Peak are just a few in Colorado. Make sure you research the hike before you go. Many of them are intense!
2. Take a Gondola or a Ski Lift – Even if you aren’t the best hiker, you can still enjoy the awesome beauty of the heights. Many ski resorts offer year round lifts to the top of the mountains. Oftentimes, North American ski resorts are as lovely in the summer as they are delightful in the winter. For example, there is the gondola ride up Snowbird, not far from Salt Lake City, and the breathtaking trips up Vail and Beaver Creek in Colorado. Many ski resorts offer at least one or two motorized ways up the mountains in the summertime.
