The Summit County Recreational Pathway System is now open for the 2019 season. With the exception of the Tenmile Canyon section between Frisco and Copper Mountain, and the Vail Pass section between Copper and Vail Pass, the county\u2019s 38-mile network is now fully plowed and swept.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe opening of the Recpath is one of the most celebrated signs of spring in Summit County,\u201d Open Space & Trails Senior Resource Specialist Jason Lederer said. \u201cThere has been a lot of anticipation this year, following an extremely snowy winter. Backcountry trails will likely remain snowpacked and wet for several more weeks, so we ask people to stick to the Recpath for now in order to avoid damaging natural surface trails while they dry out.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Tenmile Canyon Recpath typically opens significantly later than other stretches of the system as it runs beneath numerous avalanche paths in the Tenmile Range. This stretch of the pathway will likely open even later than usual this year because of large amounts of heavy debris from more than 20 avalanches that covered the pathway in March.<\/p>\n

Although the Recpath system is open, wet and icy spots are likely, and users may encounter workers and maintenance vehicles. Recpath users are urged to exercise caution and slow down when approaching work areas or vehicles.<\/p>\n
