Vail Pass Bike Trail / Amazing View's for 15 miles

Overview
The Vail Pass Recpath runs for 14.8 miles between Copper Mountain and outside of Vail. The paved path runs along Interstate 70 from Gore Creek Campground, just east of Vail, until its southern endpoint.
About the Route
The Vail Pass Recpath is a popular route for cyclists, incline skaters, and hikers who seek a paved off-road route through spectacular mountain scenery. East of Vail, the northern endpoint sits at the end of Bighorn Road, just under 10,000 feet of elevation. The trail follows along Vail Pass, which reaches about 10,609 feet at the rest stop the trail passes through. The trail is a slight decline on its way to its southern endpoint. Copper Mountain, where the southern endpoint sits, is home to Copper Mountain Resort, which is a nice stopover for refreshments and a rest.
