Description
This trail originates at CO 7 (peak to peak hwy), just south of Lily Lake. Just after starting out, you'll encounter a junction with Storm Pass Trail. The Aspen Brook Trail descends throughout its entirety and passes some old structures that are remnants of Anna Wolfrom's Homestead. Although mostly surrounded by dense coniferous forest, this trail breaks out into a few meadow zones that offer pleasant vistas.
