The Rails-to-Trails

This trail is built within the former rail corridor of the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad (D&RGW) Aspen Branch. Train operations along this line ceased in phases between the 1960s and the mid-1990s. In 1997, the rail corridor and track were purchased using a combination of funding from local governments, Great Outdoors Colorado, the Colorado Department of Transportation, and Pitkin County Open Space and Trails.

Biking, walking, or horseback riding is allowed on the trail. As you make your way along the trail, notice the many relics and remnants of the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad. This micro cache is located along the trail and is easy to reach from the CMC Park and Ride. A flat bike or walk from the parking lot is 0.2 of a mile. BYOP, log only. Happy Trails to You!
