    "Enjoy this 8.8-mile out-and-back trail near Carbondale, Colorado. Generally considered a…read moremoderately challenging route, it takes an average of 4 h 30 min to complete. This is a popular trail for hiking and mountain biking, but you can still enjoy some solitude during quieter times of day. The best times to visit this trail are May through October. Dogs are welcome and may be off-leash in some areas." 1. no bathroom or trash or dog poop bags at trail head. Be sure to be prepared for that. Pack out what you pack in, including dog poop bags and human...... 2. The weeds are overgrown especially as you get to meadow. Be sure to know that in advance. wear longer pants if you are sensitive to plants. I am 5 foot 8 and they were thigh high in many places. 3. There is not a lot of shade. 4. there is no service in marble/red cloud area. Actually no service between carbondale and paonia so have your directions to the hike and also the alltrails map downloaded prior to going. 5. the parking lot is not obvious. Its a dirt lot on the side of the road. The trail is beautiful. We enjoyed our trek. It was confusing to know where exactly the trail ended. We went through the meadow and did see a cool homestead cabin/property off to the side. We went further but figured that was an animal trail. Pretty sure it ends in the meadow. Overall very beautiful. the wildflowers are out in full force! Wonderful views of mount sopris especially on the way back. It is uphill. Also it is very remote. Would consider bringing bear spray with you for this one.

    One of my favorite Aspen hikes! A great workout with a rewarding beautiful lake at the top! Dog…read morefriendly and lots of shade.

    As I continued on my goal of hiking once a week in Aspen, I saw friends posting pictures of…read moreAmerican Lake. I absolutely loved hiking to Cathedral Lake a few weeks ago, and this trail is just two miles before Cathedral Lake. However, I could not find anyone else interested in this hike so I decided to go by myself. This was one of the clearest trails I have hiked all summer, and I felt 100% safe hiking this one by myself. If you are a first-time solo hiker, this is a great one. This hike seems like it will start out easy, as you jump a stream and cross a meadow. However, you almost immediately get to 45 minutes of switchbacks. The switchbacks were steep enough, and the Aspens do not provide complete coverage from the sun. While I did not need to take a break, it was a very intense way to start a hike. Once you get through the switchbacks, the hike flattens out quite a bit with just a few more hills. The remainder of the hike is mostly shady, which also meant that starting at 10:25 AM was just fine. You hike through many more pine trees and a few meadows. When you come up on the lake, it is just beautiful. There are some trails around the lake, but you should also look for fish in the lake because it is very clear! The hike down is very easy and fast as well because there are very few rocks on this hike. I am usually slower down than up, and I sped down this mountain. I started this hike at 10:25 AM, reached the lake at 12:00 PM, and I was back to my car at 1:40 PM, after spending a little over a half hour at the lake. My biggest issue with this hike is that there are flies EVERYWHERE. Having a fly by your ear for 3.2 miles each way is rough. People also do not pick up after their dogs, and there is dog poop everywhere. So while the actual lake is gorgeous, I found the journey up to Cathedral Lake much more fun and enjoyable. This hike is worth doing if you have the time, but it wouldn't be on my top 5 list in Aspen either.
