Description

This bike path can be used to simply connect Snowmass to Aspen, but it's also a great way to make a loop ride using the Sky Mountain Park trails, or Government trail.

At its lower end near the Airport, the path connects to a paved bike path that allows easy access to downtown Aspen or to the Aspen Airport Business Center (AABC).
