Overview
The 3.25 mile Bighorn Trail begins at Bighorn Road and ends at an old shack at 10,778 feet. The first 1/2 mile of the trail climbs steeply out of the Vail Valley, then more gradually climbs up through stands of aspen and pine. The trail passes beaver ponds and the remains of old mining camps as well as Bighorn Falls. Near mile 2, the views of Vail and Bighorn drainage are exceptional.
