Ashcroft was another mining community founded in the 1880s that prospered until 1890. By 1904 there were only 100 people living there and by 1906 the town was bought by a New York Syndicate. Several buildings in Ashcroft were restored in 1976 for the Bicentennial. How to get there: Drive to Aspen, drive west out of town on CO82, and in a short distance turn south on CR13 to the Maroon Bells. In . 10 miles take a left on CR15 (which will turn into FSR102), and follow it about 14 miles southeast to Ashcroft. Roads are car driveable. There are several campgrounds along Maroon Bells Road, FSR125. This is a high-use area, especially in the summer and fall.
