Traveler advice
Book before you go
Hiking to/From Aspen
If you need transportation to the trail head to hike to Aspen, I recommend Dolly's Shuttle Service (choose Eagles Nest for pickup spot which is close to condo). You will need to book your spot on the shuttle weeks or months in advance. They will also pick up at Aspen Highlands visitor center/parking area near the Maroon Bells.
To get to or from the Maroon Bells trail head, you will need to reserve a spot on the Maroon Bells shuttle. The last pickup time from the trail head is 5pm, and there is no personal vehicles allowed except for those camping overnight.
