RIO GRANDE TRAIL

ASPEN GLENWOOD SPRINGS 42 Miles of Continuous Multi-use Trail

19007_2019 Trail Map.indd 2 6/4/2019 9:17:47 AM

This trail is built within the rail corridor of the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad (D&RGW) Aspen Branch, although Train operations along this line ceased in phases between the 1960s and the mid-1990s. The corridor is being “railbanked” for future transportation uses.

In 1997, the rail corridor and track were purchased using a combination of funding from local governments, Great Outdoors Colorado, the Colorado Department of Transportation, and Pitkin County Open Space and Trails. This purchase presented an opportunity to explore transportation alternatives to State Highway 82 congestion and the challenge of creating recreation connectivity in the Roaring Fork Valley.

In 2001, RFTA was formed as a regional transportation authority creating a dedicated funding source for transit and trails. Following its completion in 2008, RFTA now manages and maintains the Rio Grande Trail with its partner agencies in the Roaring Fork Valley.

RIO GRANDE TRAILRIO GRANDE TRAIL

THE RAIL-TO-TRAIL EFFORTALL USERS PLEASE RESPECT THE CORRIDOR SPEED LIMIT OF 20 MPH

The Rio Grande Trail treadway is asphalt surfaced with some sections of concrete and compacted gravel. The pavement is 8 to 10 feet wide with soft surface shoulders of 2 to 6 feet. The trail is open to those on foot, those on horseback, and those using human-powered equipment such as bicycles, in-line skates and skateboards. Wheelchairs, both motorized and non-motorized, are permitted. Other Power Driven Mobility Devices (OPDMDs) are permitted with restrictions. Call (970) 384-4975 for more information, or visit www.rfta.com.

Picnic tables and benches are provided at various locations, as are trash cans, recycle bins and dog waste stations. There is only one potable water source on the trail at the Basalt trailhead next to the Basalt Highschool, plan to bring your own water as there is no other water source along the length of the trail. Vault toilets are installed at the vicinity of Cattle Creek and Catherine Store Bridge. A number of spur trails lead to services in the towns adjacent to the Rio Grande Trail corridor.

During the winter months, the trail is plowed when snowfall exceeds 3” between Glenwood Springs and Main Street, Carbondale. Other sections may be groomed for cross-country skiing or remain unmaintained. Call (970) 384-4975 for the current trail conditions, or go to www.riograndetrail.com or www.rfta.com. For nordic grooming reports between Aspen and Basalt, call (970) 925-2145 or visit www.aspennordic.com..
