Climbing Independence Pass eastwards from Aspen is a bucket-list journey to the Continental Divide, reaching an extreme altitude of 12,095ft, making it one of North America's highest paved passes. Prepare for a very long 18-20 mile and challenging climb gaining over 4000ft; while the average grade is moderate at 4-5%, expect long, sustained climbing sections particularly above the tree line, likely averaging 6-8% in parts, amplified significantly by the thin air. Along the route you'll see the stunning transition through beautiful aspen groves to breathtaking alpine tundra vistas. Be aware that services are non-existent between Aspen and Twin Lakes so be self-sufficient and check the road status before attempting the climb.

Clinton Gulch Reservoir sits right on the edge of Hwy 91, sandwiched between the road and the foothills of Clinton Creek Basin. 13,000 foot mountains tower in the background and bounce off reflections in the water. There is a walking path that actually journeys around the water's edge that you can access from the Gold Hill parking lot, but the views are equally as great from the roadside.

This is a nice place to stop in Avon when riding along the Eagle Valley Trail. There are picnic tables and trash cans right off the trail for you to use.

This section of the Ten Mile Canyon Recpath travels through a wetland area. The riparian environment is home to lots of different fish, and you can sometimes spot deer, moose, and bighorn sheep coming down to the water for a drink. The Ten Mile Canyon Recpath is a paved path that connects to the great trail network in Summit County.

The Vail Pass Bike Path, or Vail Pass RecPath is 8.7 miles (one way) up from the town of Vail to the summit of Vail Pass. The bike trail begins on old Highway 6 for the first 3.5 miles. After that, turn right to follow the path to up Vail Pass (if you miss the turn and continue straight, the old highway ends after about .25 miles). As you ride, enjoy the stunning scenery safely away from cars. Once you hit the summit of Vail Pass, there are bathrooms, water, and parking. You can either then turn back and enjoy a super fun descent back down to Vail, or ride down the other side to Copper Mountain and back.

From this spot on Bighorn Road, you get fantastic, sweeping views of Vail Valley, the ski resort, and surrounding mountains. This is a great place to pause and sip some water on the steep ascent, or admire as you fly down on the fast descent.

At 10,622 feet high, you can truly feel the altitude as you ride. The pass maintains a steady elevation, with mountains surrounding you along the way. There are plenty of opportunities to stop and take in the breathtaking views.
