Aspen Ridge-Boulder Ridge Loop Details
The trails leads hikers through aspen groves and boulder fields and along the shores of Phelps Lake, via a route that's less frequently used and thus offers solitude but perhaps less-than-ideal trail conditions. You'll also pass the graveside of early homesteader David W. Spalding, who lived here after fighting in the U.S. Civil War. This trail connects with the Phelps Lake Trail, the Lake Creek Trail, and the Woodland Trail. The trailhead is located in the Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve, off Moose-Wilson Road.
