The historic village of Aspen makes for a scenic and interesting run. We suggest creating your own route, incorporating galleries and shops along roads lined with Victorian era buildings, and pretty residential side streets.

A long, steady climb with great views of the Maroon Bells. It's 9.3 miles between the roundabout in Aspen and Maroon Lake. Shuttle buses allow for shorter options. Road closed to cars during the day in summer!

The tough and hilly 7-mile Hunter Creek Trail is a popular running route for its proximity to town and fantastic views of the Elk Mountain Range. The first 3 miles are especially popular for jogging -- but still challenging!
This rocky 1.8 mile trail winds through aspen fields and rock gardens before descending to Crater Lake and a beautiful vista of the Maroon Bells. Beautiful, but runners should note the rocky footing.
