Aspen to Snowmass via Owl Creek

Valley to Village!

This scenic ride connects Aspen to Snowmass Village via Owl Creek Road, a quiet, rolling route with wide valley views, open ranch land, and sweeping mountain backdrops. It’s about 10 miles one way, and thanks to your e-bike, the gentle climbs and curves are a breeze.

Along the way, keep an eye out for the friendly horses that often hang out in the pastures along Owl Creek—you can even bring a few carrots to share (they’ll appreciate the snack and the company). It’s a fun, memorable little moment that makes this ride feel special.

As you cruise into Snowmass, reward your ride with a stop at The Stew Pot, a longtime local favorite known for hearty soups, fresh salads, and classic sandwiches. Or head to The Tavern Snowmass for laid-back mountain vibes, live music, and one of the best decks in the village for soaking up the sun.

This ride is a great way to explore beyond Aspen, linking two iconic towns with one beautiful stretch of road.
