 Ashcroft and the upper Castle Creek Valley surrounding the Pine Creek Cookhouse are a veritable mecca of recreation opportunity. One and half miles off the road in the winter, the Cookhouse is simple to get to in the summer-drive all the way to the new spectacular cabin, and into the paradise that is the Elk Mountain range. Hikers can stroll the historic Ghost Town of Ashcroft, continue up beautiful River Run trail, or take on the invigorating climbs up American and Cathedral trails to hidden, pristine lakes. Cycling up Castle Creek Road from Aspen for lunch at the Cookhouse is one of the locals' favorite road rides, while the forest roads over the surrounding high passes offer unlimited mountain biking. The riffles and beaver ponds of upper Castle Creek offer Gold Medal trout fishing.
 Photographers often dot the roads around Ashcroft busy capturing the flowers, wildlife and mountain scenery so abundant in the area.
