Our Trails
Each of Innsbrook’s seven beautiful and unique hiking trails will please both the Sunday stroller and the avid hiker.
Aspen Spur Trail
About The Trail
.59 MILES
The Aspen Spur Hiking Trail, located west of Lake Aspen and east of Harmony Bridge, looks upon the Aspen Spillway and meadow. The path is fairly straight spanning from Aspen Dam to Harmony Bridge. There is no turnaround on this section of the trail, but the views are wonderful. You can see the waterfalls caused by the spillover of the lake and the grassy land below. Look for wildlife in the spillway, as it is one of the favorite hideouts for heron and other birds. In addition to birds and wildlife, many types of wildflowers and plants grow in this section.
Hike time on this trail is approximately 15 minutes. You can extend your hike by walking along the main road across Harmony Bridge and connecting to The Meadows Hiking Trail.
How to Get There
From the IBK Corporate Administration and Construction Offices, travel south on Aspen Way Drive, then south on West Aspen Circle Drive. The parking area is just across the bridge before the dam. The trailhead is on the north side of the bridge. In addition to this trail map, we suggest you bring along a color Innsbrook development map (available at the Front Gate, Real Estate or Aspen Center Front Desk).
While You’re Hiking
For your safety, please watch for loose rocks, tree roots, and other obstacles along the trails. Please park in designated parking areas only. Stay on the marked trail; do not take shortcuts. The trail has been laid out to minimize the destruction of surrounding vegetation and to prevent erosion. Carry out what you carry in. If the trail users before you have not done this, you can help by removing their trash, too. We ask you to leave only footprints and take only pictures. Nature is for everyone to enjoy, so let your followers experience the beauty.

Grendel Trail
About the Trail
1.46 MILES
Moss-covered paths pave the way for much of the Grendel Trail that traverses around scenic 6.5-acre Lake Grendel. The few hills on this trail are short, but steep, so gear up at the bottom and power through to the top. Watch for blue jays along parts of the trail where there are pine trees, which is where these large songbirds prefer to nest.
You’ll also spot many shade-loving ferns growing from the forest floor and young trees reaching for spots where the sun shines through the forest canopy. You’ll likely hear the persistent squawks of turkey buzzards before you spot their shadows flying through the trees. Look up to see them circling near the halfway point of the trail.
How to Get There
The Grendel Trail is the westernmost trail in our system. From the Alpine Tunnel, head south on Alpine Lake Drive and follow that road around the lake until you reach Grendel Drive. Head northwest on that road and follow it until it ends. You’ll find gravel parking and the trailhead to the west of the parking lot (towards Schuetzenground Road). In addition to this trail map, we suggest you bring along a color Innsbrook development map (available at the Front Gate, Real Estate or Aspen Center Front Desk).

Sonnenblick Trail
About the Trail
.93 MILES
The Sonnenblick Trail meanders through the forest in the extreme southeast corner of the Innsbrook property. See how many different bird calls you can identify as their songs float through the woods around you. In early spring, colorful blooming dogwood and redbud trees are at the forefront. Also, look for colonies of mayapple in the open woods! As you hike, you may wonder why we don’t haul away trees that have fallen to the ground. Fallen or dead trees remain on the Innsbrook forest floor, as long as they are not blocking a hiking path, because they make ideal habitats for many species including birds, bats, squirrels and raccoons.
Please stay on the trail. Remember, plants grow by the inch and die by the foot.
How to Get There
The Sonnenblick Trail is located in the southeast corner of Innsbrook. From the Aspen Center, turn south on East Aspen Circle Drive and follow it to Lake Wynnbrook Drive. Turn east on Lake Wynnbrook Drive and wind your way down near lot 1715, just before the road meets Sonnenblick Drive. There is a small gravel parking area off the road to the left. The trailhead is located nearby and appears as an opening in the woods. In addition to this trail map, we suggest you bring along a color Innsbrook development map (available at the Front Gate, Real Estate or Aspen Center Front Desk).
