VAIL LOCAL TRAILS #602

Situated at 8,150 feet in the upper reaches of the Gore Valley and encircled by the White River National Forest, Vail combines one of the world's best alpine ski resorts with a friendly community that maintains its small-town feel. Visitors from around the world can find varied shops and restaurants, luxurious accommodations, bountiful cultural events, and year-round recreational opportunities—from hiking to skiing to biking. This map is a combination of a standard trail map on the front with a helpful guide on the back that has a selection of recommended hikes, from the moderate 2.9 mile Berrypicker to the strenuous 3,100 foot climb up to Pitkin Lake. Each selected trail includes a brief description, specs such as elevation gain and length as well as a detailed elevation profile to track your progress up and down the numerous peaks and valleys. Each Local Trails map includes detailed trail maps at 1 inch = 1/2 mile, showing every turn and terrain coutour. The maps also indicate trailheads, parking areas, and the difficulty levels of each trail segment. Every Local Trails map is printed on 'Backcountry Tough' waterproof, tear-resistant paper and includes a full UTM grid for GPS navigation.
