Whenever we think of great Colorado ski towns, Aspen is, of course, at the top of the list, and it needs no reason to see why. This luxurious, charming, visually stunning small town in America, with its commendable ski slopes, is perfect for an Aspen ski vacation. Make your Aspen vacation unforgettable on the Rocky Mountains, enjoying the adventure, natural beauty, and lots of exciting activities.
Begin your curious trip with outdoor Aspen activities by visiting Maroon Bells, one of the iconic sites of Aspen. Here, you will see a breathtaking mirror-like lake that reflects the images of two snowcapped and jagged peaks known as Maroon Peak and North Maroon Peak. If you want to try hiking, then this area has some hiking options. For beginners, Maroon Lake Scenic Trail is an easy one-mile loop, while for intermediaries, Crater Lake Trail is 3.6 miles and has the best views of the lake. There are also campsites in this area.
Winter sports lovers can head to Snowmass, Aspen's largest and most famous ski area. It has around more than 5,300 acres (about the area of JFK Airport) of mountain terrain to tackle, 100 trails, 20 lifts and a charming village with plenty of shops and restaurants. Besides that, it has four ski areas, the most prominent being Aspen Mountain also known as Ajax.
The Aspen trip is incomplete, without opting for the Silver Queen Gondola ride to Aspen Mountain. The peak of the mountain sits at about 11,000 feet (about 3.35 km), and irrespective of whether you are skiing in winter, hiking in the spring and summer, or just glancing at the leaves in the fall, the gondola gives you spectacular views all the way. The whole trip is about 2.5 miles from the base to the peak of the mountain.
Once you reach the summit, the mountain offers outdoor dining, hiking trails, and, depending on the season, entertainment like live music. It is also the gateway to many of the area's hiking trails. If you are going for skiing in winter, beware that the Aspen Mountains are not for beginner skiers; they are suitable for intermediate to expert skiers and snowboarders.
Without doubt, Aspen has become a winter wonderland, but you will also be joyful if you choose Aspen for your summer vacation as Snowmass organizes free concerts annually in June. Go to the Aspen Music Festival & School's Michael Klein Music Tent (formerly the Benedict Music Tent) between late June and Late August to enjoy a classical music setting like no other.
Besides that, you can also travel to the Aspen Santa Fe Ballet, Theatre Aspen, or Wheeler Opera House to enjoy fantastic dance, stage and vocal productions. Make the most out of your Aspen Colorado vacation by driving over Independence Pass, which is a scenic route and a historic mountain pass that leads straight into Aspen.
