Aspen Ridge 2.5

Aspen Ridge is a well known tourist trail, but this is not the tourist version.  This version keeps the namesake Aspen Ridge in the middle of the run, but adds a road with an interesting hill on the south end and a loop to Bald Mountain on the north end.

This Jeep trail is best known for being beautiful when aspen are changing color in the fall, but it is nice to visit any time of the year.

There is a GPS - gpx track at the bottom of the page.

Aspen in the fall
Spring and early summer is alive with the yellow of golden pea.  Midsummer is still beautiful, if not as colorful.

Aspen in the summer
Aspen Ridge itself is in the middle of this trail.  The north section before turning toward Bald Mountain has open rangeland.  The abandoned quarry in the south part is full of water.

Bald Mountain has nice views across the Arkansas Valley.  If you are lucky you may see bighorn up there.
