Description: Grab a Snowmass Trail map to make things a bit easier. Start at the trail head, there is a decent climb to gain access to the ridge. Once there, enjoy the views of Old Snowmass Valley and the lake on one side, and New Snowmass on the other. This trail stays pretty easy and smooth so it's great for beginners!! You can park another car on the other end, use Snowmass's great bus system (they do accomodate bikes) or just ride back!! Have fun!!

Fun Trail. The first climb is a bit grueling, but once your on top of the ridge, the singletrack is smooth and fast. It's easy to override your turns so keep your speed in check the first time you ride it. Always a fun, quick ride in the Roaring Fork Valley. I just wish there was a return trail. The road and paved path are boring.

Very smooth singletrack climb to great views @ the ying/yang. From the top you can return the same way or continue north on Rim Trail to Sinclair Dr. The north mesa trails at Sinclair Dr. open after June 20 for Elk calving. This is a good network of about 3 miles to add on with some climbing involved. Or continue up the Snowmass Village bike path to Rim Trail TH parking.

Excellent single narrow path, gradual winding climb up and across the small mountain. Approx. 700 ft climb. Beautiful scenic views all the way to the top where you reach a 25ft diameter YingYang marble cement slab. Be sure to read the small vertical rock with a quote by King. Views are well worth the climb. Don't quit! Downhill is great!
