Exciting News: THE VAIL HIKER, now published in a revised, updated edition, has increased from forty to fifty trails for hikers, cross-country skiers and snowshoers. New hikes range from the challenging Commando Run, established during World War II for training skiing soldiers from Camp Hale, to the rewarding Village to Village trail on beautiful Beaver Creek Mountain. The brand-new revised and updated version of the popular guidebook, THE VAIL HIKER, is now available! Order today! Note to Trail Users:Avoid hiking trails in the lodgepole pine forest on windy days due to possible falling trees. This includes trails in the Gore Range and trails around Minturn, among others. Trees killed by the mountain pine beetle are subject to blow-down. If wind comes up suddenly, retreat to a large open meadow until the gusts subside.

new edition of THE VAIL
HIKER.
Trail of the Season: For description and directions, click here. High Altitude Hiking Tips: click here Mary Ellen Gilliland, author of THE VAIL HIKER AND SKI TOURING GUIDE offers you Eagle County's best ski and snowshoe trail based on local conditions. Where to go when the County is crowded, finding the area's best snow conditions or protected areas during stormy weather are issues we take seriously and we want to share them with you.
WILDER GULCH Time:
3 hours Wilder Gulch is a wonderful trail which
usually enjoys abundant snow. Since it receives heavy use from
snowmobilers during the peak part of the ski season, it's best to do
your tour here in late November (avoid Thanksgiving weekend) and early
December. The Vail Hiker guidebook is available at Summit County sporting goods, grocery and book stores, plus The Tattered Cover in Denver. You can order on this website. Click here.
