Aspen Ridge

Trail Overview

Aspen Ridge is a well-known trail for tourists, but the version we recommend is different. This version includes Aspen Ridge in the middle of the run, but it also has a road with an interesting hill on the southern end. We suggest that you connect to Bald Mountain on the northern end. While you can visit this Jeep trail at any time of the year, it is best known for its fall beauty when the aspen trees are changing color. In the spring and early summer, the trail is alive with the yellow of a golden pea, and in midsummer, it is still beautiful, but not as colorful. Aspen Ridge itself is situated in the middle of this trail. The northern section, before turning toward Bald Mountain, has open rangeland, and the abandoned quarry in the southern part is full of water. Bald Mountain is a great spot to enjoy the lovely views across the Arkansas Valley. If you're lucky, you may even spot Bighorn up there.
