Lincoln Creek Road #106

White River National Forest

Available for hiking, mountain biking, camping, and 4WD, the 11 mile Lincoln Creek Road is heavily used for the first 6 miles to Grizzly Reservoir. From the reservoir to the ghost town of Ruby the road is much less used. Ruby contains a few old buildings which are in an advanced state of decay.

From it's beginning Lincoln Creek Road crosses a bridge and travels downhill past Lincoln Gulch Campground. Following Lincoln Creek the road travels in an uphill/downhill pattern to Grizzly Reservoir.

To continue to the ghost town of Ruby stay on the main road which curves to the southeast of the reservoir and past Portal Campground. Climbing easily to the ruins of an old mining cabin at the 9 mile mark. The road forks in another 0.5 mile and take the left fork (right fork leads to the Petroleum & Anderson Lakes trailhead). The road ends a short distance after Ruby.

To reach Lincoln Creek Road from Aspen Colorado, travel southeast along Highway 82 for 11 miles. Lincoln Creek Road is on the right side of the Highway.
