grottos trail印象

The trail to the Ice Caves/Grotto entrance is very short. It doesn't look like you can easily get down into it, but it is possible and not too scary. The inside is relatively small, but gorgeous. This is a fun activity to fill an hour or so, especially in the afternoon.

This hidden gem is right off the road coming down Independence Pass into Aspen. The trail is easy and worth the short trek to the Grottos. It's family friendly all the way although small children will not be able to climb down into the caves but the waterfalls are easily accessible for everyone. Don't be one of those silly tourists who wears flip flops hiking though - the rocks are smooth and good footwear are a must!

So I almost don't want to share this one for fear the place will get too busy. It's such a great place to stop....take a short hike, explore the ice caves (more of a crack in the ground) and the cascading waterfall, have a picnic. Although this trail is easy and is suitable for almost anyone, come prepared with proper shoes, You will walk on the rocks next to the waterfall and they can get slippery. We didn't go in the ice caves as there was some recent snow and there was a foot of water at the bottom. Can't wait to go back in the summer.

Good easy hike well worth the time. Great place to sit and picnic and by roaring forks creek so you could here the rushing water.

The grottos were a fun experience....huge boulders set in a pine forest with a roaring mountain stream. Good vistas and the cascades are a must view. Our kids went down in the ice caves more a ice caven....cool place to stop

这条郊野径在independence pass那头，其实离市区还蛮远的，但是很值得一看。因为它有冰川侵蚀的现象出现。特别在石头底下看，超漂亮的侵蚀形状。不过可惜就是这条径有点短。

Small area with a couple of trails not far from Aspen with easy access. The trail on the parking lot side of the creek goes to the bottom of a nice waterfall, the trail across the bridge goes up a little to the so called ice caves and the top of the falls. Good place for families to explore but not much for experienced hikers.

This year the rivers are raging. Go and enjoy your self with ice cave, cool pines, easy, level walks.

I love going to secluded hikes in Colorado. If you're going/leaving Aspen you must come to this spot. It is right off of HWY82 and you can map yourself to 'Grotto's Trail'. It literally was a 10 min hike to the 'ice caves' (I'm assuming there was no ice since we were there in the fall and 5 mins more to the cascades. It is definitely a hidden gem! Be careful when you are climbing into the ice caves. There is no clear path so you'll have to follow the worn out path down the cave and it is well worth the climb in! Go during noon when there is lots of natural light and you won't regret it.

Our total trip was maybe 30-45 minutes, with the hike taking a total of 10-15 if you don't stop. We came here for the ice caves but it was all melted by now (August). Even so, we were able to climb down into the "caves" to explore a bit, and then walked along the river watching and listening to the waterfalls and cascades that wound their way through the curvy rocks.There were also nice picnic areas and river access from the shores, but we had a long drive ahead of us and jumped back in the care after the short hike.
