Duthie Hill Park
Duthie Hill Park is a community-built, volunteer-maintained mountain bike park that has become a model for bike parks nationwide. The trail network is constantly evolving with new features added by Evergreen MTB Alliance volunteers. The park is divided into zones: the Central Clearing is the hub, with progressive jump lines radiating outward. There's a skills area with wooden features, a pump track, and dedicated beginner trails. It's free to ride, open year-round, and has parking, restrooms, and a covered gathering area.

Early Morning (7–10 AM)
The best time to ride in Aspen. Trails are fresh, temperatures are cooler at altitude, and you'll beat the afternoon crowds on popular routes like Maroon Bells.
Late Morning (10 AM–Noon)
Great for longer rides when fully acclimatized. Aim to be off exposed ridgelines by early afternoon as afternoon thunderstorms are common in summer.
Avoid Afternoons in Summer
Aspen summers bring rapid afternoon thunderstorms, especially above treeline. Start early and plan to return before 2–3 PM. Always bring a rain layer.
A mountain bike with suspension is strongly recommended at Duthie Hill. Knee and elbow pads are a good idea if you're hitting the jump lines. Bring water and snacks—there's a covered gathering area but no food service. The park is rideable year-round but can be muddy in winter. A Washington State Discover Pass is not required for Duthie Hill parking.
- •Wear a helmet: Always wear a properly fitted mountain bike helmet — Aspen trails are technical
- •Acclimatize first: Aspen sits at 8,000 ft — give yourself 1-2 days to acclimatize before hard rides, especially if flying in
- •Watch for thunderstorms: Afternoon summer storms build fast in the Rockies — start early and be off exposed terrain by 2 PM
- •Bring water & snacks: High altitude increases dehydration. Bring more water than you think you need plus energy snacks
- •Know wildlife etiquette: Aspen has bears, moose, and elk. Make noise on blind corners and know how to react to wildlife
