Description

This trail was built and opened in 2022 to create a new way to access Sky Mountain Park. It is open to uphill bike traffic only (as well as two-way foot traffic), allowing the nearby Airline Trail to be become downhill bike only. At the first crossing of Radar Road, you can opt for a very short loop by returning to Owl Creek Trail via the lowest part of Airline Trail. As you continue up higher on the trail, you cross the Radar Road (no public access) a second time, and can now enjoy views of the Owl Creek drainage, and the higher you get, views towards Aspen and Independence Pass.

At the top of this trail you have a few options. Continue west on Skyline Ridge Trail towards Deadline Trail and Snowmass, or head down straight on Cozyline Trail to connect back towards Aspen on the now downhill-only Airline Trail.
