Description
Excellent pathway. It runs through the trees and creates a better road biking experience than riding directly on the road.
Staying on the pavement is a great option for those road warriors, as the 24 mile path heads straight over Vail Pass, topping out at 10,554 ft.
Parking
Parking available near entrance of the path in the Ten Mile Canyon Recreation Area.
