Alternates
From the Aspen/Maroon Bells area to GSD...
Along the Upper Arkansas river valley:
St Elmo ghost town
Mt Princeton Hot Springs (in the river)
Agnes Vaille Falls hike
Lots of 14er trails - Antero, Princeton, Collegiates, etc
Salida is a great town (I live nearby)
Where 50 and 285 intersect, you have two choices to GSD:
Through the San Luis or
Down 50 to Cotopaxi to Westcliffe in the Wet Mountain Valley
Lots of hiking on the east side of the Sangres and usually empty
Take Medano Pass into the backside of GSD (vehicle dependent - Cherokee okay, Traverse not)
