A calming oasis.
Adjacent to Gore Creek, Altus offers residents unmatched proximity to this peaceful and meandering waterway and the paved Gore Creek pathway running alongside it. Take a quick stroll to town, a leisurely bike ride, or for resident anglers, enjoy seamless access to hungry trout waiting just beyond your door.
Take a hike. Or a bike.
Hiking and mountain biking top the list of summer activities in Vail. Two year-round gondolas deposit you at the top of the mountain for 360-degree views along rolling single track. Drive to Eagles Nest or Holy Cross wilderness areas for more hard-core trekking. And for road bikers and cruisers, hit the Vail Bike Path which passes behind Altus meandering West beyond Edwards or East all the way to Frisco over Vail Pass.
Take your seat amongst the stars.
The entire experience of a live performance at Gerald Ford Amphitheater certainly feels amplified by a combination of fresh mountain air, amazing scenery, its world-class lineup, and the fact that it’s literally in your back-yard. Or maybe it’s the five-minute walk through Vail’s famous Betty Ford Alpine Gardens, which, located at 8,250 feet above sea level make it the highest of its kind in the U.S.
Just a five minute walk to the Amphitheater

Stroll the pedestrian-only, heated walkways, head to Solaris Plaza’s luxury stores, ice skating rink, and fun, family-friendly spots like Bol while taking in the sights, smells and flavors of this vibrant, European-inspired paradise.
