Trail Overview

If you're heading to Taylor Park Reservoir from Aspen, this is the shortest route with beautiful views at Taylor Pass. Several other trails connect up with this trail. Unlicensed vehicles can ride in reverse, from the Taylor Park side, but must stop at the pass. Beautiful campsites available at Taylor Lake and Taylor River Road.

Came from Taylor side. Ran a Rubicon and SbS. Some snow and ice, but still passable at least to the pass.

We came up from the Aspen side down to the lake and back. We did the trip in a silverado zr2 on 34s with front and rear lockers and full skid plates. You will get pinstripes if you are in a full sized truck or SUV. Shelf road up and down the express creek road was tight but doable with the help from 360 camera's. Beautiful views of the lake well worth the effort.

Excellent fall colors and magnificent views. Trail conditions were great. Only saw like 4 other Jeeps on trail. Lots of fun.
