Mollie Gibson Park

About

Mollie Gibson Park is a small, city-managed recreational area in Aspen, Colorado, located along Silverlode Drive at the base of the Smuggler Mountain trailhead. The primary feature is the Mollie Gibson Trail, a short, dirt surface loop approximately 805 feet long with a minimal elevation gain of 37 feet, ranging from 7,991 to 8,028 feet. This trail allows hiking, biking, and off-leash dogs, making it suitable for a quick walk or a warm-up before tackling larger trails. The park provides parking adjacent to the trail access and includes benches and picnic tables for resting. Views of Aspen Mountain are a key attraction. The park is open from dawn to dusk and allows up to 100 people. While the database lists fall hiking as a seasonal activity, the park itself is accessible year-round, with the trail being easy to moderate in difficulty due to its short length and gentle grade.
