Eagle Valley Trail is 1 mile in length. It is a shared use, single-track trail (motorcycle, mountain bike, horseback, and hike). The trail follows the bottom of a small canyon, which in places is very narrow. This is a good hike for families and kids. It also provides connections to longer single-track routes (Sidewinder and Sunset Rocks trails). For more information, please contact the Gunnison Gorge NCA or Uncompahgre Field Office.
Getting there
From Olathe, Colorado drive east on Falcon Road. In 3.8 miles it turns from paved to gravel and becomes Peach Valley Road. Continue on Peach Valley Road for 1.4 miles, then turn right on Chukar Road. Eagle Valley Trailhead is about 0.1 miles down Chukar Road on the left.
