A few miles east of Aspen is The Grottos, a little day use area with an easy trail that leads to a set of caves carved out by glacial ice thousands of years ago. You can go into the caves but getting out seemed a bit sketchy. We didn't want to get stuck and have to be rescued so we decided to just observe from above!

A very short hike along the Grottos Trail leads to a wonderful set of cascades along the Roaring Fork River. We were lucky to arrive when no one was around!
