The road going over Independence Pass (and thus connecting Aspen and Twin Lakes) is only open certain times of the year due to heavy snowfall. The 32 mile paved road travels up to 12,000 feet and offers views along the way. This viewpoint overlooks the Twin Lakes area and Buffalo Peaks Wilderness in the background; the other direction offers views into the heart of the Sawatch Range.
