Anybody know of any overnight to 4 day routes near Vail Colorado? Bikepacking.com only has 1 and it's not great (e.g., no water near camp). Bonus if I can ride from Vail.
Thanks.

Plenty of good riding options out that way. Lots of good forest service roads to explore. I’ve always wanted to ride the Red and White Mountain Road over Muddy Pass and then drop onto Hwy 131. From 131 you can either turn around or if you feel real ambitious you could ride over Trough Rd, do the Summit county section of the GDMBR and ride back over Vail Pass. Another pretty chill option would be to ride in the area around Sylvan Lake. Lots of cool roads to ride around over there. The Hardscrabble bikepacking route in Eagle is a classic too.
