3/4 DAY WEST SNOWMASS CREEK “The best ride in Aspen”

The West Snowmass Creek 3/4 Day Ride is unlike any other trip. We used to have it as a half-day ride but once people arrived at our Snake Basin Camp they were in no hurry to leave. Departing around 10 am the group trip takes you up Snowmass Creek Valley. When we reach the fork in the trail we take a right, charge straight through the main Snowmass Creek and up we go! Gaining altitude in a very short time makes the views spectacular. We stop along the way for great photo opportunities since the you get an un-paralleled perspective of the Snowmass Creek Valley. The ride is continues and you soon break out into the unmatched beauty of Snake Basin. Here we have one of our base camps at the foot of Mt. Daly & Clark's Peak. This spectacular high altitude basin is the perfect place to have lunch, relax and take photos of this aw-inspiring area. The way down is just as enjoyable as the way up due to the contrast in dramatic views.

The ride begins by following Snowmass Creek before heading up West Snowmass Creek.  This trail climbs through majestic forests up to Snake Basin. Then up even higher until you reach Daly basin where we will dismount for lunch. From there the view of the Elk Mountain range is spectacular, which includes Mt. Sopris, Mt. Daly, and Clark’s Peak, Both of the bells, Hayden and many other 14ers. Then up around Haystack Mountain and down the other side with a totally different view.
