About this campground
This is a moderate trail. The trail is used by mountain bikers, hikers, and horseback riders. The trail travels through many Aspen groves as well as a few stands of pine and spruce trees. The highest point on the trail is the subtle pass in Hay Park at 9,680’.
Getting there
This trail can be accessed from either the Thomas Lakes trailhead below Mount Sopris or from the BLM parking lot off of Capitol Creek Road. This narrative is from the BLM parking lot: Drive 14 miles west of Aspen on Highway 82 to Old Snowmass and turn left. Continue 2 miles to the "T" intersection. Take the right turn and continue 5 miles until the pavement ends. Follow the dirt road about 1.5 miles to the BLM parking area, which is off to the right. There are limited camping opportunities on this trail as it is primarily a day-use trail.
