Description
The Woods Walk is a great place to go for a stroll;it's super nice, mild, gentle walking through an aspen grove. Very dog, bike, and family friendly. Start in an aspen forest, but eventually the trees diminish and you're given awesome views of Mount Crested Butte, Gothic mountain and the surrounding hills and valleys. Be sure to follow signs and stay on the trail as it is bounded by private property. The end connects to the Lower Loop Trail, so if you want to you can keep going on that trail before turning around and heading back to your car.
