      The Vail Valley is a special place to recreate on trails. In 2018 it was awarded designation as one of fifteen IMBA Silver Level Ride Centers in the world.

      A variety of mountain biking exists for all levels at almost all times of the year. Excellent early season riding is available down Valley in Eagle and by the time June comes around lift served riding is opening on Vail Mountain. There are trail systems right out your backdoor for after work or lunch laps and hundreds of miles of backcountry accessible singletrack awaits on the weekend.

      The Vail Valley is also fortunate to be sourrounded by 100,000s of thousands of acres of wilderness that offers incredible hiking and backpacking opportunities.

      1
      Lower Old Nine Line
      • 100 ★ 3.8 • 595 ft • 6 ft • 1,717 •
      Lower section of Old Nine Line that you can connect from Big Mamba. The turn off is at the apex of a turn, just look for the little logs and you can roll the bottom part, which is much easier than the main Old Nine Line trail.
      12
      Hanks Hideaway
      • 85 ★ 4.2 • 2 miles • 266 ft • 1,485 •
      Trail was upgraded and rerouted by Momentum Trail Concepts in the summer of 2018. They eliminated many of the uphill/pedally sections, although there are still a few. Great re-route and change to this trail!

      Radio Flyer
      • 95 ★ 4.8 • 2 miles • 0 ft • 1,444 •
      If you like Whoop-di-dos, a lot, I mean like really a lot, then you will love this trail. Up and down along the mountain, but not really catching any air. There is even one spot in the middle that is the longest straight-line pump track...
      17
      Boneyard
      • 95 ★ 4.3 • 3 miles • 960 ft • 1,320 •
      Highly rated popular blue difficulty singletrack. This mountain bike primary trail can be used uphill primary and has a moderate overall physical rating with a 960 ft blue climb. It features rock garden. Trail visibility is always easy to follow. On average it takes 36 minutes to complete this trail.
      28
      Pool-Ice Rink
      • 95 ★ 4.3 • 3 miles • 111 ft • 1,280 •
      Fun non-tech machined corkscrewy bermed generally downhill trail down a steep ridge. Definitely worth the climb up. Rolls a bit at the bottom over to its namesake complex (where there's a really nice bike park btw). Some have described...
      2
      Lower Radio Flyer
      • 90 ★ 4.4 • 3,514 ft • 25 ft • 1,275 •
      Technically this trail is part of the , but this lower section is really a different beast. Instead of the endless bumps, this lower section has some purpose built table tops where you can air out. Being near the bottom, it is a fun to...
      Son of Simba
      • 60 ★ 3.4 • 2,180 ft • 53 ft • 1,225 •
      Finish off Hanks Hideway on singletrack by continuing down . Fun little bit of singletrack that hugs the hillside and undulates dropping you out to the ski run fast and straight down.
      Charlie Brown
      • 100 ★ 3.9 • 2,933 ft • 99 ft • 1,123 •
      Short and sweet, and ends at the cemetery.
