    This is a great hike for beginners. Even though the trail is short, you can end up spending a couple hours taking in the beautiful sights. Don’t forget to take a look inside the cave, you won’t be disappointed.

    The trail is a relatively easy trail. The scenery is incredible. Great place to stop when traveling to or from Independance Pass. A couple spots to at along the trail are the Cascades and the Ice Caves

    Great hikes and views. Moderately difficult with leg and hip disability but does have a handicap accessible pathway. The ice cave was beautiful, but be prepared to climb down and back up if you are interested in seeing this. The Cascades were amazing from several different viewpoints unlike some other waterfalls which only have 1 good vantage point.

    This is one of my favorite places anywhere. I can't tell you if exactly what or why it's so special or what keeps me coming back year after year. There are usually a fair number of people (and cars) but it never really seems that crowded. The trails are easy, well marked and interesting. Ice caves and cascades are constantly changing.

    Very beautiful place to hike, and so easy. Anyone can do it, except the falls. Very limited parking, also limited restrooms. Also beautiful place for picnic, but limited.

    The Grottos Trail in Aspen is a hiking path that travels past waterfalls, rapids, and grottos. During the winter, the pools inside the caverns freeze, covering them in ice.

    Very cool trail right off the highway. Does require some rock scrambling, but overall, it's an easy trail. Parking in the very small parking lot can be a challenge.

    A short 30 min drive from Snowmass Village, the drive has a tight road condition when approaching the venue. A wonderful experience and views in the forest with rocks and caves created by glaciers, waterfalls, and rivers. Be prepared with hiking shoes, mosquito spray, and water. There is a public restroom at the entrance. A very limited parking lots available.

    A lot of view for little effort. The ice cave was cool, but to me the cascades stole the show. Dipped my toes in on Sept 2 and the water was still cold enough to almost freeze them off.

    Absolutely beautiful and the perfect little stop on road trip. It really does only take like 20 minutes max to get through it, but definitely worth a stop
