Grottos Trail

Scenic picnicking area


Family Time Off The Beaten Path

Address: Phone:
Highway 82
Aspen, CO 81611
+1 970 925 3445

Description

This is a great place to picnic if you want mountain solitude without having to hike six hours to find it. All three picnic spots are within a five minute walk from the trailhead. For true ooh-look-at-this beauty, cross the bridge and follow the Old Stage Road to a picnic spot that borders the Roaring Fork River and includes a fishing dock. Larger groups should follow the left path, just before the bridge, for 200 yards where it spills out upon a huge picnic site. Follow Highway 82 for nine miles. Just beyond Weller Campground you will see a sign marked "trailhead." Turn right into the parking area.
