Land OwnerPitkin County
This trail offers some of the biggest & most panoramic views in the upper valley, including 360 degree views at the eastern end near the airport's radar tower structure. The trail roughly follows the ridgeline of Sky Mountain Park, connecting on the west end directly to the Viewline trail, and on the east to Radar Road.
Colorful wildflowers abound along the trail during late spring, early summer, soon after the area opens up to recreation for the season. Views towards Aspen and Snowmass, as well as the high mountains in all directions are incredible. Whether you're a local, or you're visiting the area for the first time, put this trail on your short list
