Keystone, Co. Resort help ??

[BillM]

DD, DSIL and children 10, 14 and 19 are going to Keystone in July using points. They need some suggestions on things to do that would interest the kids. They are not much into hikes. This will be their first trip to the Rockies. Can any one help with suggestions ?

Rafting was the best for us, I think the Colorado was tamer but beautifull but we went on the Arkanasas and it was not too wild but very fun-do it.

Horseback was pretty fun, drove about 20 minutes to a train/mine tour that was pretty good, drove to Breck (fun) and Vail about 15 minutes that had a really neat downtown. One had an alpine slide that was fun.

Take the chair lift up and look around, maybe get soem lunch or dinner up there.

Food-cant remember anything that was really good and stands out-sorry.

Keystone itself is pretty tame, but short drives can get you to some great places.
On their way in, have them drive over Loveland Pass on US6, instead of driving through the Eisemhower Tunnel. Chances are they will see snow.
Breckenridge is an authentic mining town, and has a nice downtown. Plus the Alpine Slide is awesome for all age groups. Included in the price for the Alpine Slide is a chairlift ride. In town, Eric's is a good place for lunch.
They will be right down the road from Lake Dillon, which is a beautiful sight.
Golf is everywhere.
Rafting is an awesome memory for the family.
They could drive to Vail, which is a half-hour away. Beautiful valley, with lots to do. Rent bikes as a family, and ride around town. Go to Ford Park and look at the gardens. Flowers everywhere. Take the gondola to the top of the mountain, where they have all kinds of activities. Hike down the mountain. Get great barbecue at Mo's in Lionshead.
Relax while breathing in some clean mountain air.
Kayak / canoe.
Learn how to flyfish.
Georgetown Loop train ride with mine tour.
Horseback riding.
On your way up or down, stop at BeauJo's in Idaho Springs for pizza.
