Gore Creek Path

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Gore Creek Trail follows Gore Creek, a tributary of the Eagle River, which flows through the heart of downtown Vail. The path connects Lionshead and Vail Village via the scenic Gore Creek Path. This paved path offers a leisurely walk or bike ride, perfect for enjoying Vail’s charm. The trail spans 2 miles through town but extends nearly 19 miles as the Gore Valley Trail for those seeking a longer journey. Dog-friendly and easily accessible from most Vail hotels, the path has beautiful views, opportunities for fly fishing, and the peaceful ambiance of the mountain town.

Vail

Highlight • Settlement

Although the town of Vail is best known for its world-famous ski resort, there is a lot more to this town than that. The town is surrounded by hiking and biking trails, like the popular Booth Falls Trail, and other activities such as fly-fishing and gondola rides. In the summer, golfers can also tee off at Vail Golf Club. The town itself offers a mix of upscale boutiques, art galleries, and unique shops in Vail Village and Lionshead. There are restaurants, cafes, and breweries too for you to grab a great bite to eat at after a day of adventuring.
