Did you think that all of our mountain resorts closed down once the snow was melted? That couldn't be further from the truth. Although many people think of Sandpoint's Schweitzer Mountain Resort as a winter-only destination, it's actually just as exciting and fun during the summertime. In fact, this epic resort turns into a giant playground of recreation and fun when summer approaches. We just found your new favorite summertime destination. Take a look!

Although Idaho's mountain resorts are primarily known as premier skiing and snowboarding destinations, there are plenty of things to do once the snow melts. In fact, there is an endless amount of fun and adventure to be had at the glorious Schweitzer Mountain Resort in Sandpoint.

Schweitzer is now officially open for the summer and you'll definitely want to plan on visiting at some point during the upcoming months. For one, the resort's surrounding mountains are absolutely stunning even when they're not all covered in snow!

We could go ahead and list all of the amazing activities that Schweitzer offers in the summer, but it might be easier to list what they don't offer. We're kidding, but not really. Here you'll find everything from frisbee golfing to zip lining, and so much more.

Back at the resort you'll find all sorts of activities that are suitable for all ages. Open daily during the summer is the 25-foot-high climbing wall which you'll definitely want to try and tackle. Other kid-friendly activities include gold panning in a sluice box and soaring to crazy heights in the trampoline jumper.

Of course, you'll want to explore the stunning wilderness areas surrounding the resort. Instead of ski runs, however, you'll set off on one of their easily accessible hiking, trail running, or mountain biking trails. The view from here is simply amazing.

Schweitzer even offers horseback rides so you can experience the North Idaho wilderness like never before. Your ride will start in Schweitzer village and take you through beautiful forests, all while boasting jaw-dropping views of Lake Pend Oreille in the distance.

Are you the type that is always up for a thrill? Enjoy an adventurous ride on the mountain's glorious, 700-foot zip line. The zip line allows two guests to ride side by side down to the bottom, so you can race a friend while enjoying the sights.

The fun is pretty much never-ending here at Schweitzer. The mountain resort is host to all kinds of festivals and events throughout the summer that are perfect for planning your next trip around. You can check out a full list of their events here.

Plus, many of the resort's attractions are reasonably priced. You can even buy an Ultimate Fun Pass for $35 and that includes unlimited air jump, wall climbs, zips, and lift rides. There are also plenty of free activity options to keep you busy if you're on a budget.

After a long day of exploring everything the mountains have to offer, you can finish your day with a delicious meal at one of the resort's many dining options. This place truly has it all, and then some!
