Hal and I have been enjoying the trails around Eagle, CO for the past two days.
We've been parked at the Brush Creek Pavilion, where it appears you can car camp overnight...(hope we don't get kicked out tonight!)
*Oops, I spoke to soon...we just got the boot from the Pavilion, driving to visitor center now...!!!*
You can also car camp (but not tent camp) at the Eagle Visitor Center.
My personal favorite was the Haymaker trail. For a challenge, you can ride up the Boneyard trail and then descend the actual Pool/Ice Rink trail-super fun. We picked up a free trail map at the Visitor Center, but be sure to stop into the local bike shop, Mountain Pedaler.
Today we explored the trails above Eagle, from the Horton TH. Had a harder time finding our way to the top, due to inconsistent trail markers, but once we got up to Mike's Night Out, it was straight downhill for over an hour! But it did take almost three hours of climbing for that reward ;) From Mike's Night Out, we followed Abram's Ridge down-so FUN!
To us, the town of Eagle seems like how Louisville was when we moved there over five years ago-quaint, friendly, and not crowded. Everyone we've met has been extremely kind, and there are kids riding around without their parents late into the evening!
Can't wait to explore more great places in Colorado this summer!
