By arinewman on 9/27/2006  this shot was taken during an epic late-season ride up in Vail, CO. started in Vail Village, rode up the fireroads to the top of the mountain, rode grand traverse trail over to cougar ridge and down into Minturn...then back into Vail on the bike path. Highly recommended. |

Government Trail East (Snowmass to Aspen)
|
By Steve Outing on 7/5/2006 on Steve Outing's blog
On vacation in Aspen for the July 4 holiday, I took some time away from the family to ride Government Trail East, which is one of the area's most famous singletracks linking Snowmass and Aspen. Do this trail! Really, really nice. I did the trail solo, starting in Snowmass at about 9 a.m. The full length of the trail (just under 9 miles from my starting point at the top of Wood Road to the end of the singletrack near the Aspen Rec Center), I saw only one group of four hikers the entire trip -- and one deer. Serious solitude, which is remarkable since the trail is so close to a busy resort area. |
