Keystone Resort has long been known as a place where families rule, and summers are no exception, where turning lifts carry mountain bikers, hikers and families seeking mountaintop summer adventures, rather than skiers and riders searching for fresh turns. From scenic lift rides and guided hikes to horseback riding and 36-holes of championship golf, the opportunities for summer adventures are endless. Beginning June 10, on-mountain and River Run Village summer activities open at 10 a.m. daily through Sept. 5, with two additional weekends Sept. 10-11 and 17-18.
