Welcome to East Vail
The Ultimate Rocky Mountain Alpine Experience
Nestled just a few miles from Vail Village in a picturesque alpine landscape, East Vail is a sought-after community favored by both residents and Front Range visitors for its stunning scenery, abundant outdoor recreation, and convenient accessibility.
Bordered by Vail Pass to the east and a scenic bike path that extends westward through the Vail Golf Course, East Vail offers an exceptional setting for outdoor enthusiasts. Cyclists, hikers, cross-country skiers, and ice climbers find endless opportunities for adventure right outside their doors.
Cyclists benefit from direct access to the bike path ascending Vail Pass, while hikers can explore a variety of trails suited for all skill levels, including Bighorn Creek, Gore Creek, Deluge Lake, and Two Elk, which winds through the backside of Vail Mountain. In the colder months, cascading waterfalls freeze into striking ice formations, attracting climbers who skillfully navigate the terrain. When conditions permit, groomed trails provide cross-country skiers with a scenic route into town.
As late spring and summer unfold, Gore Creek flourishes, framed by verdant aspen groves, towering lodgepole pines, and surrounding waterfalls. The Vail Racquet Club's tennis courts open for the season, while Bighorn Park transforms into a vibrant hub for the community, featuring a playground, an off-leash dog area, picnic spaces, a large field, and a tranquil pond.
Residents enjoy seamless access to Vail Mountain’s world-class skiing via the Town of Vail’s complimentary bus service, which reaches the slopes in just five minutes. A local grocery store further enhances the convenience of this serene mountain enclave. With its peaceful streets and strong sense of community, East Vail offers an ideal balance of natural beauty and mountain living.
For those seeking an unspoiled alpine retreat, East Vail delivers an unparalleled experience. Less densely developed than Vail Village, this tranquil neighborhood’s charm lies in its pristine surroundings and understated elegance.
