Description:
The Eagle Valley Trail can be ridden in either direction from the Riverwalk in Edwards. Going east takes riders 2.0 miles to Squaw Creek Rd. This section of trail parallels Highway 6; first on the south side and then crossing over to the north side at the traffic light in the trailer park. Be cautious; pedestrians travel the area frequently.

Going west takes riders along the Eagle River and then later along the north side of Highway 6. The trail eventually joins the river again as it cruises into Avon.

Directions:
Drive Interstate 70 west to Exit 163 Edwards. Take a left off the exit ramp, and head about half a mile – you can’t miss the Edwards Riverwalk Center. Parking is available at the Riverwalk.
