Little Annie Trailhead (winter only)

About

The Little Annie Trailhead in Aspen serves as the access point for a moderate fall hike on Little Annie Road (CR 15G). Located in the White River National Forest, this 4.5-mile dirt road offers a route suitable for hiking and mountain biking. The trail connects to Castle Creek Road, Midnight Mine Road, and the Aspen Mountain Sundeck. Elevation at the trailhead is 9,596 feet. The typical duration for this outing is about two hours. The season runs from September through November, aligning with the fall foliage period in Aspen. Parking is available at the trailhead, and restrooms are provided on-site. The facility does not have a water source available at the trailhead itself, and there is no fee to enter. Pets are allowed on the trail. Trail conditions during fall are generally dry, though hikers should expect leaf litter and uneven terrain. The road is partially plowed in winter but serves as a hard-surface dirt trail during the hiking season.
