The Simms Mesa Aspen Grove Trail #115.1B begins and ends at the Simms Mesa Trail #115. The trail leaves the Simms Mesa Trail and drops into a small draw, climbs up the eastern side and continues southwest until it intersects the Simms Mesa Trail again. It passes through a beautiful aspen grove which is pretty all year, but especially with the fall colors.
