This trail is subject to a USFS seasonal closure from 4/15 - 6/20 to protect deer and elk during calving season

Description

Great views of Vail through a pretty nice aspen forest, though not the most pristine in the area. Lots of loop possibilities with the North Trail - Eastern Section and Red Sandstone Road.
