How it works
Show up, get fitted, get driven to the top. The ride down is the easy part.
Any all-day bike rental includes the shuttle. Reserve online and your bike is paperwork is done before you arrive; fitting happens in the shop.
Meet us at the Frisco shop. We rack your bike, drive you up I-70 to the Vail Pass rest area, and unload.
Fourteen miles of paved path down Ten Mile Canyon, right back into town. No car shuttle, no climbing, no rush.
Enjoy 14 miles of smooth, paved bike path — downhill the entire way — straight back to Frisco. This scenic ride follows a vibrant creek as it winds through the mountains and forests of Summit County, delivering nonstop views and that perfect Colorado mountain air.
Midway down, you'll roll right into Copper Mountain, a lively resort village packed with fun: roller coasters, go-karts, a ninja-warrior course and more. It's the ideal spot to take a break, grab lunch, or enjoy a drink before cruising the rest of the way home.
Whether you're after an easy family ride, a bucket-list Colorado experience, or just a beautiful downhill cruise, Vail Pass is one of the most rewarding rides in the Rockies — and it's good for all ages. The shuttle is free with every full-day rental.

Photo: bikes racked on the shuttle trailerDue to Forest Service requirements, we are not permitted to drop off Burley trailers at the top of Vail Pass. Please call us to discuss other options — there are good rides for families with trailers on the Frisco side, and we'll happily point you at them.
Six departures a day, on the hour. 28 seats each — reserve yours with a full-day rental.
Add a second same-day Vail Pass trip for $25 per rider, subject to shuttle availability.
Water — more than you think, the summit is 10,662 feet. A layer for the top, even in July. Sunscreen. We supply the helmet, the bike and the flat kit.
Most people ride it in 90 minutes to two hours with stops — longer if Copper's village pulls you in for lunch. Paved the whole way.
Reserve an all-day bike and the shuttle comes with it. Sign your waiver on the way, and walk straight to the fitting bench.
