    Vail Lake Resort KOA

This is the western-most trail at the Vail Lake Resort. This trail is on a private KOA campground and is subject to the property operating hours. There are races on these trails in the early MTB season - recommend calling to ensure the trails are open for public use. This trail has a couple of deceptive climbs - short and very steep - that make the rider maintain the right gears and momentum or else end up hopping off mid-slope to push to the top. A couple sections are subject to erosion and not frequently repairs or maintained - recommend a cautious first run to pick the best line The trail follows the ridge, has a great view, and ends with a high speed, straight drop for maximum fun.

      		 Dry loose dirt making traction somewhat an issue. Other than speed control, very rideable and enjoyable

      		 New rutted center channels from the recent storm season. Especially in the descent areas. Very easy to catch your tire if you’ve picked a line...
