“One of the Breckenridge originals (aka Aspen Tunnel) - feat. recent realignment, great aspen views.”

— Don Leinweber
GPX File — Driving Directions

Overview

Features: -none-

Description

From the Boreas Pass winter trailhead, go south past the gate and look for a singletrack on the west side of the road. The trail has been recently (2014) realigned and features numerous switchbacks through a beautiful aspen grove.

The trail terminates at a gravel driveway on the lower section of Boreas Pass Road (paved). Take a right on the driveway back to Boreas Pass Road and climb back to the trailhead. Utilize Illinois Gulch Road to short-cut the climb back to the trailhead.
