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.
