Mountains are about the contrasts. In Keystone, you're at some of the steepest peaks on the continent, but between them the land gives way to rich, lush rolling meadows and forests carpet the foothills and mountains below the timberline. The air is crisp and clear and clean, the lakes, rivers and streams pristine. The smell of the pines is constant, and the sky is the deepest blue you can imagine. Everything looks as though you could just reach out and touch it! Few places on earth exemplify these contrasts as well as Keystone.
Two award-winning championship golf courses have been etched onto the topsoil, beautifully engineered to blend with the natural beauty already there. The village is decidedly alpine, and the same ponds that grace it during the summer will freeze solid for a huge ice skating rink in the winter months. Lodges have lots of live music of all kinds, including jazz, folk and rock. Dance clubs get your groove thing going for apres-ski, and rock concerts are common on weekends. There's even a miniature golf course for kids of all ages! Take a tram ride and look out at the mountains. Feeling a bit more adventurous than that? A hot air balloon ride will give you a perspective few have ever seen! Get a feel of the old west with a trail ride on horseback. Want to relax? Check out the day spas and massage therapists. Pretty much anything you want to do or can imagine (and some great things that you may never have heard of before) can be found at Keystone.

Restaurants play a bigger part than some people realize in a exploring a new place. Some people look to the familiar, while others take the opportunity to splurge or be daring. Whatever your culinary pleasures, you're sure to find a cornucopia, and your hosts will go out of their way to be sure that you have a great meal and truly enjoy yourself. It's part and parcel of a visit to this mountain mother-lode. There are scores of unique restaurants to take in during your stay. Whether it's the casual Italian fare at Paisano's or Wolf Rock Brewery, or you choose to indulge in fine dining at the Zagat-rated AAA 4-diamond restaurant located some 11,444 feet up the mountain, you're sure to leave content and smiling.
One of the things that makes Keystone such an amazing destination is the very diverse nature of the place. From the most adventurous adrenalin junkie to the total bookworm, from athlete to couch potato, everyone who comes to Keystone finds plenty to see and do and experience. Keystone and the rest of Summit County are so incredibly different from the state capital, just 75 miles away, that you'll feel as though you've stepped through some magic portal -- and you really have! Life in the Rockies is unlike anything anywhere else in the world. The great thing is that you can be there just a bit over an hour after arriving in Denver.
