Description: Ba ttl e The Vail Pass ride begins along the Frontage Road next to the Vail parking structure. Ride east along the Frontage Road in Mountai route to n East Vail. After crossing under the interstate at the East Vail exit, the road merges with Bighorn Road. From here, continue riding towards Gore Creek campground. There is a gate here and the road beyond is closed to car traffic. The road climbs steadily to the intersection with the Vail Pass bike path. Turn right onto the path and ride downhill briefly. The route will cross Polk Creek and then make a sharp left turn under the interstate. There is one short steep climb from here and then the route climbs steadily to Vail Pass. The grade eases as riders near the top of the pass and go by Black Lakes. From here riders can continue a short distance to the rest area at the top of Vail Pass. Descend the same route. 9000
