Snowshoe Aspen and spike up to Hanging Lake.

This is wonderful weekend of snowshoeing, some good restaurants, hot springs and spiking up to Hanging Lake.
We drive to Glenwood on Saturday. Possibly do a moonlit snowshoe that evening at Sunlight Mountain Ski Resort.

On Sunday, we do a snowshoe near Aspen. On Monday, we spike up to Hanging Lake on our way home.

Directions to the Aspen snowshoe: Hunter Valley. In Aspen, take Mill Street north. Bear left onto Red Mountain Road at the fork. Go through a neighborhood. Turn left just before the elegant stone gate with the private property sign. The road ends at the small parking area for the Hunter Creek trailhead. The parking area is small. So we will carpool to it.

We will be staying at Cedar Lodge in Glenwood. Our discounted rate is $114 plus tax for two beds/one night. You have to tell them you are with my group to get our discount. 970-945-6579 is the number to call and reserve your room. When you sign up for this weekend, please call the lodge and reserve your room. They are nice enough to reserve rooms for us and give us discounted rate. It makes it easier on them if they can keep a current idea about their reservations.
