There's a lot to do in the Vail Valley. All that activity can leave you with a few aches and pains. What to do? Make a date at any one of the many spas in the valley. Unwind at Aria Spa (970-479-5942; http://www.vailcascade.com/vail-colorado-spas.php) at Vail Cascade Resort and escape into a world designed to heal the body and soul. Herbal tea by a fireplace and then into the treatment room for a massage, facial or body treatment.

Or try Allegria (970 748-7500; http://www.allegriaspa.com) at Beaver Creek, a world-class spa built to calm, refresh and tone.

If the high-end doesn't appeal but you're still in need of some minor pampering and attention, try the Avon Recreation Center (970 949-9191) and get in a workout or swim in the state-of-the-art public recreation center.
