Hunter Creek Trail and Aspen Hickory House
Carly and I had a down day in between 14'ers, so we decided to do the 5-6 mile long Hunter Creek Trail in Aspen, CO. The trail starts steeply, but also provides breaks at creek crossings. We eventually ended up in a meadow that was followed by another series of steep road cuts. Finally we reached the apex of the trail, which also featured a lookout platform that provided great views of Aspen, the surrounding valley, and mountains. We then descended the Lani White Trail back into Aspen. After the hike, we had a pre-14'er protein load at the Aspen Hickory House. I highly recommend this place. The outdoor seating was perfectly shaded from the late day sun, the food was outstanding, and the beer selection was fantastic.
