Perfect for bachelor parties or any type of guy’s getaway, these Colorado resorts are fit for a group of outdoor-loving guys. From a decked out penthouse above the treetops to a complete alpine adventure, the altitudes are calling.

Plus, Vail Resorts will utilize its “1% For The Forest” program as a means to contribute one percent of all summer lift ticket and activity revenue to The Nature Conservancy for forest restoration projects on national forest lands.
