Description

From the top of the Eagle Bahn gondola, take the southern (left) branch of the paved path and enjoy the spectacular views of Mt. of the Holy Cross. The pavement doubles back towards the gondola, but continue onward on a dirt path and continue to enjoy the views... but don't get carried away and ride down the ridge on a much more advanced trail. Follow signs for Eagle's Loop as it turns around and makes a quick return to the gondola, this time with remarkable views of the Gore Range.

And the scenery on the other side of the ridge isn't bad either. That's the Gore Range.
