About

The Lollipop Connector in Aspen, Colorado, is a moderate mountain biking route that links trails within Smuggler Mountain Open Space to the Hunter Creek trails in White River National Forest. The trail features a distinctive out-and-back switchback known as the 'lollipop.' It serves as a primary downhill singletrack with a length of approximately 479 feet to 1.7 miles, depending on the specific segment and source data. The route connects several other trails including BTS Trail, Tootsie Roll Trail, Smuggler Loop Trail, 10th Mt. trail, and Iowa Shaft Trail. Parking is available near the connector. The typical riding season extends from April through October, subject to snow conditions and trail maintenance. Pets are allowed on the trail. The elevation is 7,890 feet. Recent conditions indicate potential impacts from the CriticalGold Mountain Fire, with evacuation orders in effect for certain zones.
