Directions:

Starting at Koch Park, The Ajax Trailhead is easily accessible from downtown Aspen. This 2.5 mile loop starts with a short ascent through mountain brush and then traverses Aspen mountain (with great views of downtown Aspen) before descending back into the other side of town.

After traversing Ajax mountain, follow the signs to descend into Ajax park on the other side of town and run back through downtown Aspen (Via Ute Avenue to E Durant Avenue) to Koch Park after your descent. You can also do this loop in reverse by starting and ending at Ajax park.

Klubb tip: Koch Park has dedicated parking available and you can also find two hour street parking around the park. Check out our Top 5 Best Trails in Aspen here.
