Work up a healthy appetite, indulge in some of the Vail Valley’s finest gourmet offerings and give back to your community, all at the same time, Sunday, July 8, as the Vail Valley Foundation introduces the inaugural Trek to Table benefit hike and dining extravaganza on Arrowhead and Beaver Creek Mountains.
Benefiting the Foundation’s overarching mission of enhancing the Vail Valley through arts, athletic and educational events and programs, Trek to Table will feature a nine-mile hike, with guides from the Beaver Creek Hiking Center, from Arrowhead to Beaver Creek, with varying routes and degrees of difficulty. Along the way, participants will be treated to a gourmet trail feast, with dining stops at four of the prestigious private cabins and restaurants that dot the route.
“Trek to Table is a wonderful opportunity to combine a great day of hiking and beautiful scenery with a full day of incredible food, all for a terrific cause,” explained Ceil Folz, president of the Vail Valley Foundation. “Not only can you have a great outdoor outing, but you can make a significant contribution to our community in the process, in essence feeding both the body and the soul.”
The day will begin at 7:30 a.m., with breakfast at the Broken Arrow Restaurant at the base of Arrowhead Mountain. Mid-morning refreshments will be served at Zach’s Cabin, while lunch will be provided at Beano’s Cabin on Beaver Creek Mountain. Trek to Table will conclude with après at Allie’s Cabin.
