Great views!
Hiked from the main parking lot up to the mining structures, then took the road that veers right at the top (south I believe), and went up and over the saddle. Not many people on that trail, and some great views!
Hot wildflower spot
Prime spot for wildflowers in mid-July and a great location for night photography.
Great Day Hike
This makes such a great day hike as well!
Summer, a season not to be missed in Aspen!

During the day the temperature hovers in the 70's and 80's, and by evening the mercury will drop into the 60's. Arts & culture enthusiasts will be just as fulfilled as the adventure junkie during summer in Aspen.
