Sounds of summer in the Vail Valley include the swish of flyfishing rods being cast, crunch of mountain bike tires turning on the trails, soothing flow of water down Gore Creek, along with music drifting from the numerous concert venues around the valley.
Forego the big indoor concert venues in the city and head to the mountains. Pack a picnic and blanket, spread out under the starry summer nights, breathe in the crisp clean air and enjoy everything from jazz to bluegrass, reggae to classical.
