About
The Van Horn Overlook Spur is a moderate, 0.4-mile mountain biking trail located in Aspen, Colorado. The route connects to the Van Horn Overlook Trail and serves as a connector or alternate route within the Roaring Fork Valley. Elevation ranges from approximately 7,890 feet to a high point of 9,890 feet. The trail features a short, steep climb on well-defined singletrack that crosses over several switchbacks. Riders encounter a mix of smooth sections and potentially rocky or technical terrain, requiring some experience. The trail is accessible from April through October, though the main Van Horn Overlook Trail remains open year-round. Parking is available near the trailhead, and pets are allowed. The route offers views of the surrounding Elk Mountain range from the top before descending on the north side.
