This moderate loop is a great way to explore three recent, new trails in the East Eagle Area. They are some of the first trails to dry out after a snow or rain event. Early spring and late fall are perfect times to get out in this area. Vail Valley Mountain Trails Alliance is adding a single track trail in place of Road Gulch the summer of 2024 so stay tuned for updates to this route.
