Bighorn Creek Trail
Cappie’s Scoop: Coming soon! Don’t hesitate to add YOUR scoop in the comments below!
Tips: The parking lot next to the trail is very very small. If there are no spots available, you’ll need to park down the road a bit (towards the direction you came in) and then hike up to the trail.
Directions: From Vail, head east on I-70 and take exit 180 toward E Vail. In 0.2 miles, turn right onto Big Horn Rd. Then in 0.7 miles, turn left onto Columbine Dr. You will see the small parking lot and trailhead on your left side.
