Overview

Aspen Road is one of several major side roads off of Deep Creek Road in the Sierra Madre Range of the Medicine Bow National Forest in southern Wyoming. Much of the lower portion of the trail is in thick aspen, pine, and fir forest. Occasional open meadows provide stunning views of the surrounding mountains. Near the top, the terrain opens up offering absolutely spectacular views of the beautiful Mill Creek Valley and the majestic peaks beyond. There are plenty of camping opportunities, especially along the beginning of the trail near Deep Creek Roadand at the top along the Mill Creek Valley. Aspen Road would be a nice addition to any weekend or week-long adventure in the Sierra Madres.
