Summit County Colorado

Summit County, Colorado has a lot to offer any bike tourist. Miles of paved bike paths, numerous small towns with bike shops, restaurants, campgrounds, beautiful vistas, and more. The downside is the altitude, so it may be worthwhile to give yourself time to aclimate, or simply plan accordingly.

We did have to make adjustments due to dammage caused by flooding, both on the roads and the bike paths, but flexibility is an important trait for a bike tourist to have. Getting too caught up in an agenda may be detrimental to fun.

Here is a quick recap of day 3 of my tour in the area, we climed Vail Pass from the east, which is the easier way to tackle this mountain.
