I'm not sure how much rock climbing there is in Vail, but, if Colorado is your destination, you may want to check out the Flatirons in Boulder or head south into Gunnison. Great climbing there as well. Happy travels!

This is a great question to ask! So far everyone has a lot of good ideas on what place to try. I am also an adventurholic and I enjoy going to new places I've never been to before. One member suggested going to Mexico. There is another city/town in Mexico worth checking out - Ensenada. There is a blowhole there, but you have to wade through the crowd of Mexican vendors to get there. If you're looking for a new country to explore, try Romania. I've been there twice already in the past two years and it's a delightful cultural experience no matter what season you come. Tulcea has an excellent archeological museum with lot of artifacts that date back before the Romans invaded that country. I've been to Victoria, British Columbia three times and it's also a wonderful place to go exploring. Buchart Gardens has an excellent display of planted flowers. The nice thing about Victoria is that it's easy to get to by ferry from either Seattle or Vancouver. Someone mentioned Costa Rica. I've been there eight years ago and I would love to go there again - just to see the antics of the wild monkeys. Seattle is another favorite of mine to visit. The Space Needle is great, but I could spend all day watching the International Fountain around the corner from the Needle. The perfect blend of water patterns and music is mesmerizing. Tucson, Arizona has a wonderful cactus park where there are many unusual and unique varieties of cactus to look at. Alaska is a good place to go to too. Watching the glaciers calving in is great, but nothing compares to visiting and walking on a glacier by helicopter. Hawaii is a very popular place to visit. I would suggest to avoid Oahu and go to any of the other island instead. My favorite is Kauai. I love watching the Spouting Horn - an extinct lava tube which spouts water when the tide is right and a wave comes in - similar to a blowhole. There's lots of places to explore in Kauai including a secluded area where you can jump from a 20 foot waterfall and swing from a rope into the pond. Great fun! I think that's enough ideas for now. I'm going to give others a chance to give their recommendations here too.
