Vail
|
|
Vail riding area is located just across I-70 from the
ski resort. This area is very large and much time
can be spent riding here.
|
|
There are many trails going in all directions so keep
track of where you are. Always ride with a partner
and let someone know where you are going.
|
|
We took one trail and ended up in Avon where we
were able to get gas. Make sure to take extra gas with
you because there are no gas stations along the trail.
|
|
There are many great photo opportunities here. Be
aware that afternoon thunderstorms are common
here so leave early to get plenty of riding in.

A beautiful picture of the Gore Mountian Range. Be
aware that if you choose to shelter out a thunder
storm under a tree, notice that most have already been
struck by lightning.
|
|
We rode on the southern side of the trail system
where many ski resorts can be seen. When we
return here we will ride on the northern side near
the Piney River.
|
|
If you have a watchful eye you may be able to spot
some wildlife. At this part of the trail all the
undergrowth had been pressed down by the
animals.
|
|
The trails in this area are suitable for ATVs,
Motorcycles, and Jeeps. At the lower portions of the
trial there were some two wheel drive passenger cars
on the road.

Directions from Denver: Take I-70 west to exit 176 and take N Frontage Rd W and turn right on
Red Sandstone Rd. Drive up this road until you find a good place to park and start riding from there. |
