Minturn Bike Park Background & History:
The Minturn Bike Park is a partnership between the Town of Minturn and the VVMTA. The VVMTA built the Mini Mile in 2017 and identified this open parcel of land owned by Minturn which is specifically designated for use as a park for outdoor recreation. The Minturn Town Council passed a Resolution in July 2019, officially partnering with the VVMTA who designed, provided community outreach, fundraised, and submitted grant applications to build the bike park. This bike park has provided significant economic opportunity not only for the Town of Minturn and its businesses, but our surrounding county as a whole increasing quality of life and health and well being since it opened in 2020.
The Minturn Bike Park was built in phases beginning in 2020:
Phase 1: Dirt jumps & rollers, uphill climbing trail to Lower Start Zone, parking area, temporary restrooms, shed with tool/equipment storage, and a large flagstone paver family/friend gathering area with picnic tables built by Gallegos Corporation. Completed in Fall of 2020
Phase 2A: Pumptrack, beginner, intermediate, and advanced flow trails including the first adaptive mountain biking specific trails in Eagle County. Completed in 2021
Phase 2B: Beginner, intermediate, and advanced flow trails with a variety of features including technical drops, jumps, rollers, berms, and rocks. This includes the first dual slalom course in Eagle County. Additional amenities include trees and landscaping. Completed in 2021
Phase 3: Beginner/Intermediate skills area. Completed in 2025
Who It’s For:
The Minturn Bike Park serves riders of all ages and abilities — kids, families, and adults. The park attracts beginners who want a safe place to learn, as well as expert riders looking to develop and progress their skills. Features range from beginner-friendly trails to advanced dirt jumps and technical gravity elements, including rock drops, wood features, bridges, and more.
The Minturn Bike Park is also home to the first and only adaptive-specific mountain bike trail and dual slalom course in Eagle County, expanding access and creating new opportunities for inclusive recreation.
In addition to daily use, the VVMTA collaborates with community partners including Mountain Recreation, The Cycle Effect, SOS Outreach, Vail Recreation District, Exploremos, and our very own Soul Dirt to deliver youth programming, skills clinics, and community events at the park.
Events:
The Minturn Bike Park is the proud home of the GoPro Mountain Games Dual Slalom and the GoPro Jump Jam both taking place during the GoPro Mountain Games (insert link). Additionally VVMTA hosts a Fall Jump jam each season which is one of our most fun events of the season.
Minturn Bike Park accepts applications for special events such as bike camps, clinics / races, and related events. Social events (such as birthday parties) are welcome, but the bike park cannot be rented out for exclusive use for a social event. Seating areas are first come, first served. For more information and to check availability for hosting a special event, please contact the Town of Minturn Events Department at 970-445-2415, or via email at events@minturn.org.
Fundraising:
In order to construct the bike park, VVMTA raised over $50,000 from you, our community, in 2019 on top of a $47,000 contribution from the Town of Minturn. VVMTA also committed over $75,000 of our reserve funds to complete Phase 1. This was a big hit to our bank account but we see the incredible value that this free and open to the public bike park has brought to all ages, abilities, and demographics of our community.
The bike park continues to be supported by the Town of Minturn on an annual basis funding maintenance and improvements to the park. VVMTA also gladly accepts donations from the community to help make sure that the bike park continues to be an amazing asset to the community.
Please donate $5, $25, $50, $100, $250, $500 or whatever you can spare to help keep this free and open the public bike park thriving.
Business can also support the bike park by becoming a business partner or by sponsoring naming rights of features or parts of the park. To learn more please e-mail Executive Director, Ernest Saeger at ernest@vvmta.org
