Together we can finish the last 12 7.5 miles of the Eagle Valley Trail.

 

“With the completed portions of the trail, I feel safe riding the EagleVail section again. My girlfriend and I enjoy riding to Vail and attending concerts. By completing the entire trail, it will give us even more options to ride up and down valley without ever having to get in our car. We will be protected from the danger of car accidents.”

— John-Ryan Lockman, Climate Action Collaborative

 

“I’m proud that we were able to complete a portion of the trail so students coming from Eagle River Village can make it to school safely. There’s still a significant need to complete the section of the trail from Lake Creek Village and throughout Edwards to ensure every student has access to a safe route to school.”

— Beverly Brennand, Edwards Elementary School
