Winter Garden Tour

Explore the garden trail with a naturalist from Betty Ford Alpine Gardens. While making your way through the Gardens’ winter wonderland, explore the local environment, discover alpine plant and animal adaptations and learn about the history of Vail’s early settlers. Warm up afterward in the Education Center and enjoy our permanent and rotating exhibits. Advance registration required to guarantee your spot. Spring conditions exist and boots will be the appropriate footwear for this experience.
