Keith and I had a hankering for walking among yellow aspens and what better place than Mint Spring trail? The show did not disappoint but it’s not peaked yet. There were a couple bonus fiery orange maples close to the trailhead too.

We hiked to an outcrop off Aspen not far from Marshall Saddle to hang for a bit before heading back. We stopped at the lodge for lunch, which was tasty.

We noticed a new trail splitting off from Mint Spring shortly after it leaves the forested section by the trailhead. It’s very clear and someone has but work into it (it’s not just the after effects of frequent off-trail use). Still, it doesn’t quite look official either. Anyone know anything about that?
