Description
The Reno Divide Trail is along one of several backcountry routes between Crested Butte and Aspen. Head up Cement Creek Road through a scenic canyon to begin the trail. The most difficult section of road is the second half, which is uneven and can often be muddy, but the views of the surrounding mountain valleys are worth the trip. Advanced drivers can continue on over Taylor Pass to Aspen.
