Inner Basin
Description: What makes this trail great is the scenery. Although Inner Basin is spectacular anytime of the year, the best time of year to go is during autumn. Especially because the aspen tree leaves turn yellow and it makes the area super peaceful and picturesque. The overall hike is easy to climb. Be cautious with the road leading up to the trail. The road is very narrow, rocky, and there are very sharp turns.
