We walked from cascade village to Vail village. It was relaxing and the river was beautiful. I loved how scenic it is.

Great running path along all of Vail, even with the snow. Right outside our condo. Got in a good run.

My nine year old daughter and myself spent several days walking down this trail and it was fantastic. The views, the nice homes, and the wildlife were remarkable.

We rented snowshoes and had a little difficulty finding the path through the golf course. Once we found it, the path took us through some beautiful scenery and it was a good workout. Only suggestion is the rental place should have a map or some info, the clerks didn't know where to send us.

I would like for it to go on forever. Easy, picturesque. Passes by the creek and a park, the wildflower garden and the ampitheater.

Found this path ("Gore Valley Trail") by accident - due to a skiing injury I had to take the day off and decided to wander around Vail. This path was an excellent discovery! Very easy little hike with excellent signage - easy to "get off" path and meander into each of the Vail villages and other attractions along the way.... More

rode my recumbent trike down to Vail and back from Summit County, nicely maintained and wide enough for my larger trike even with crowds

What a gorgeous bike path. We recently moved back to Colorado after 6 years absence and really appreciate the beauty here. The scenery along the path is incredible!

We always walk along the path to and from the Village. It is nice to walk along a babbeling creek and enjoy the snow falling while on our way to lunch or dinner. We take this walk a couple of times each year when we visit Vail.

The Vail recreation path is beautiful to explore no matter what time of year you might visit. Although parts are not plowed in the winter, the trail is usually well packed down and it provides lovely vistas through forest winter wonderlands.
