Montana: Explore Big Sky Country

One entrance to Yellowstone National Park is just about an hour away from Big Sky Resort in Montana, so take time from enjoying all the activities at the resort to see Old Faithful. You can ride a zip line, take a gondola ride and hike or mountain-bike downhill on trails, take a whitewater rafting trip or go horseback riding. Kids Camp may be free if you book through Big Sky Central Reservations.

Colorado: Aspen and Snowmass offer free family fun

Many travelers think of Aspen as Glitter Gulch and neighboring Snowmass as an upscale family-friendly resort, and there's truth to both images. But in the summertime, lodging prices are lower and the entertainment ranges from free weekday activities ranging from scavenger hunts and cooking classes to storytelling and a juggling workshop. Kids activities at both Camp Aspen and Camp Snowmass stretch from mountainboarding and skateboarding to paintball and mountain biking. For more information about family entertainment, visit Aspen/Snowmass.
