White River National Forest
Available to both hikers and bikers, the 7
mile (To Woody Creek) Rio Grande Trail is a very popular trail which
follows Roaring Fork River. The first 2 miles are paved and follow the
river. Crossing under Cemetery Lane, Rio Grande Trail becomes unpaved as
it travels along the other side of Slaughterhouse Bridge along an old
railroad bed. Crossing McLain Flats Road the trail continues on to Woody
Creek. From Woody Creek the trail is paved al the way to Basalt.
To access the paved portion, travel along Main Street in Aspen Colorado
and turn north onto Mill Street, then left onto Puppy Smith Road (4 way
stop). The trail entrance is across from the Post Office. |
