Aspen has some of the best hiking options in the Rocky Mountains. We love Smuggler Mountain, Ute Trail and Hunter Creek Trail, but you can’t go wrong!

Aspen is all about the outdoors! We love to walk the trails or rent bikes and ride around town - Rio Grande Trail and East Aspen Trail are a couple of our favorites.

Aspen is host to some of the best food & beverage in Colorado! Some of our favorites include Gorsuch, Felix or Sant Ambroeus for coffee as well as Big Wrap, Ajax Tavern and Clark’s Oyster Bar for excellent meals!

The Aspen Art Museum is a contemporary art space with rotating exhibitions from world-renowned artists, housed in a striking Shigeru Ban-designed building with stunning views from its rooftop café. It’s a fun visit for its blend of cutting-edge art, interactive installations, and the unexpected contrast of modern creativity against Aspen’s alpine backdrop. We especially love visiting the rooftop for some of the best views in town!

​The Aspen Saturday Market, running from June 7 to October 4, 2025, offers a vibrant showcase of Colorado-grown produce and locally crafted goods in downtown Aspen. Visitors can explore fresh fruits, vegetables, baked goods, meats, cheeses, and artisanal products, while enjoying live music and a lively community atmosphere. ​

Maroon Bells, just outside Aspen, are two iconic, snow-capped peaks mirrored in the glassy waters of Maroon Lake—one of the most photographed spots in North America. Visiting is a breathtaking experience, with scenic hikes, vibrant wildflowers in summer, golden aspens in fall, and the serene beauty of the Colorado Rockies all around.
