Summit County Biking
Here are just a few popular bike trails...remember the altitude changes when choosing a destination. It is much easier to ride uphill at the beginning of the ride than at the end! Also, many bike rental shops offer transportation to the top of passes so you may simply ride down. Have fun!!!
