Aspen Four Pass Trail Run
The Aspen Four pass loop starts at Maroon Lake and traverses four passes over 27 miles. The fires in Colorado were terrible during the Summer of 2020 and we were luck to be able to do it. It took us 9 hours to drive to Aspen because I70 through Glenwood Canyon was closed and Independence pass was closed.
The Maroon Lake valley was full of smoke - we almost bailed.
As we got higher toward Buckskin pass, the smoke wasn’t as bad.
By the time we got to Buckskin pass the smoke was gone.
Most of the smoke stayed in the Maroon Lake valley.
Staci running down from Buckskin pass.
Happy to be at Snowmass Lake.
Heading up to Trail Rider pass.
The flowers are always beautiful here.
