    Tips

    December 30, 2023

    The Vail Pass Bike Path, or Vail Pass RecPath is 8.7 miles (one way) up from the town of Vail to the summit of Vail Pass. The bike trail begins on old Highway 6 for the first 3.5 miles. After that, turn right to follow the path to up Vail Pass (if you miss the turn and continue straight, the old highway ends after about .25 miles). As you ride, enjoy the stunning scenery safely away from cars. Once you hit the summit of Vail Pass, there are bathrooms, water, and parking. You can either then turn back and enjoy a super fun descent back down to Vail, or ride down the other side to Copper Mountain and back.
