Conundrum Hot Springs conditions

Post by mayankov »

Hi all,

I wasn't sure which forum to post this question in. My boyfriend and I are planning a trip to Conundrum Hot Springs this coming weekend. I was just curious if anyone lives up that way or has been up near Aspen recently to know what the road conditions are like to the trailhead, as well as the hike itself? If we need snowshoes or microspikes or if it will just be muddy up there? Any advice is appreciated! Thanks all!

I have not been up there lately, but I did just post what I do know on This Thread.

I would start with a call to the Aspen-Sopris Ranger District.

Keep an eye on the CAIC reports, that route crosses several avalanche paths. With this warm weather, you could definitely see some wet slides in the afternoon.
