Seeing as you will be there in July, a MUST is Beano's Cabin. It is a restaurant set up high on the mountain from Beaver Creek. To get there you ride horseback (as we did) up the mountain. They also offer a wagon ride or a shuttle bus. Can't reccomend the horseback ride enough and I'm not a rider, too much fun!

more info on the ride and phone for the restaurant. http://vailhorses.com/horsebak.html

once up there, we enjoyed a drink on the outdoor deck looking at the mountain peaks while deer were feeding no more than 50 yards from the deck.

edited to add: oh yeah, the food was very good as well. I believe I had a buffalo steak w/some roasted veggies.
