Arbaney Kittle & Sloane Peak Trail

One of the few locations near Aspen with pinyon-juniper woodland, this is a good place to look for the various ‘PJ’ species as well as go for a nice walk. Look for species such as Pinyon Jay, Juniper Titmouse, Black-throated Gray Warbler, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, and Gray Flycatcher. Some Douglas-fir penetrates into the pinyon-juniper, bringing in birds like Hermit Thrush, Hammond’s Flycatcher, and Ruby-crowned Kinglet.
