A couple of miles past Maroon Lake they reached timberline, and the rest of the ride was along a top-of-the-world road, with simply breath-taking views in every direction. When the party reached big, beautiful Snowmass Lake, the horsemen dismounted and set up camp for a three-day stay. Chances are, they found other campers there, too, for a jaunt to Snowmass Lake is one of the best-loved pack or hiking trips in the area.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">An alternate way to get there was described as driving to Snowmass Falls Ranch (via Old Snowmass Road) and then hiking or riding horseback 9 to 10 miles to the lake- arranged by Mr. Benton at the ranch.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/snowmass\/fishing-trip-to-smass-lake-1952\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: The Aspen Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One 5&#8243; x 7&#8243; b\/w negative of a large group of people on Buckskin Pass while on on a trail ride through the Elk Mountains, circa 1950.
