Escape the Ordinary-Your Perfect Memorial Day Weekend Awaits in Keystone

Memorial Day weekend is your cue to break free from the routine, and there's no better place to recharge and reconnect than amidst the breathtaking beauty of Keystone Resort. Forget the usual holiday hustle and bustle – here, nestled in the heart of the Colorado Rockies, you'll discover a perfect blend of exhilarating adventure, serene relaxation, and exceptional value, all thanks to the tranquil off-season charm.

At SummitCove Vacation Lodging, we're thrilled to invite you to experience a Memorial Day weekend brimming with possibilities, where stunning landscapes and exciting activities await, all while you enjoy the peace and affordability of this special time of year. Here’s why Keystone should be at the top of your list:

Savor the Mountain Air: Picnic on Your Private Patio

Picture this: the crisp, clean scent of pine filling the air as you enjoy a family meal or drinks with friends on your private patio. Many of our SummitCove properties boast fantastic outdoor spaces, perfect for hosting a memorable Memorial Day picnic with family and friends. 

Explore the Trails: Hiking and Biking Adventures Abound

With the snowmelt revealing vibrant trails and the first wildflowers peeking through, Memorial Day weekend is prime time to explore Keystone's incredible network of hiking and biking paths. Whether you're seeking a challenging trek or a leisurely pedal, there's an adventure waiting for you.

  • Hiking: Discover panoramic vistas as you traverse scenic trails like the Keystone Gulch Trail or enjoy a peaceful walk along the Lakeside Trail. With options for all fitness levels, you're sure to find a path that captivates.
  • Biking: Enjoy a relaxed cruise around the picturesque Keystone Lake on paved paths, ideal for a family outing.  Bike rentals are readily available if you don't bring your own.
  • Whitewater Rafting: Plan a trip down the river for a scenic family float or action-packed adventure!  Spring flows = big fun out on the water! 

Tee Off in Paradise: Golfing Amidst Mountain Majesty

For the golf enthusiasts in your group, Keystone offers a fantastic opportunity to hit the links against a backdrop of unparalleled natural beauty. Choose between two distinct and award-winning golf courses: The River Course at Keystone, known for its challenging layout along the Snake River with dramatic elevation changes, or The Ranch Course at Keystone, a par-71 course winding through a serene valley with breathtaking views. Memorial Day weekend often presents ideal golfing conditions before the peak summer crowds arrive, offering a more relaxed pace and potentially better tee time availability. Imagine crisp mountain air, stunning panoramic vistas, and the satisfying swing of your club – it's the perfect way to unwind and appreciate the beauty of Keystone from a different perspective.

Raise a Glass to Craft Brews: The Festival of Brewpubs at Arapahoe Basin

Just a scenic and short drive from Keystone lies Arapahoe Basin, home to the legendary Festival of Brewpubs on Memorial Day weekend (be sure to check the exact dates and times for this year's event!). This is a fantastic opportunity to sample a diverse array of handcrafted beers from some of Colorado's finest breweries, all while enjoying live music and the breathtaking mountain scenery that surrounds A-Basin. It’s a true taste of Colorado culture and a perfect way to spend a memorable afternoon.

Your Wallet Will Thank You: Low Lodging Rates & Peaceful Serenity

One of the best-kept secrets about visiting Keystone during Memorial Day weekend is the exceptional value you'll find on lodging. Falling within the shoulder season, you can often secure fantastic deals on our comfortable and well-appointed SummitCove vacation rentals. Enjoy the space and amenities of a fully equipped condo or townhome without the peak season price tag.

Beyond the savings, you'll also appreciate the tranquil atmosphere of Keystone during this time. Escape the summer throngs and embrace a more relaxed and intimate mountain experience. Enjoy quieter trails, shorter waits at local establishments, and a genuine sense of peace and quiet.
