Ride up the Single track climbing out of the parking lot on the west side. Climb steadily then start
to descend. At mile 2.2 take a left, the trail now becomes more technical. At mile 2.7 pass a
spuron the left and then cross Buffeher Creek. At mile 3.1 turn right and begin to climb again. A

Review: Hugs the northern hillside of the Vail Valley. Starts up Red Sandstone road and does an immediate climb up to an intersection with Buffher Creek trail (@ 2 mi.). Continue straight ahead for a steep and fast descent leading to a grunt of a climb back up through the aspens. Take a break at the overlook spot here you can see up and down valley in all directions. Descend down toward the Davos Trail and finish up in West Vail.

Review: THis is a great trail with good views and amazing singletrack. It can be looped with Sonof Middle Creek and Davos also, to make it longer.
