Aspen Mountain Gondola

Hop on the Silver Queen Gondola to enjoy spectacular views of downtown Aspen and panoramic views of the Elk Mountains. Grab lunch at Aspen’s mountaintop restaurant, the Sundeck, while soaking up the sun on their patio.

 

Dining in Aspen

2. Enjoy A Tasty Meal 

The Aspen Saturday Market offers a variety of local produce, artisan crafted goods, and ready to eat treats. Peruse the market for the perfect Father’s Day gift or pick out some Colorado-grown produce to cook dad a special meal. You’d rather not cook? Check out Aspen’s world-class dining scene and treat dad to a delicious night on the town.

Take Dad hiking on one of Aspen’s many scenic trails. From rewarding mountain climbs to leisurely strolls, Aspen is home to a variety of terrain. With wildflowers beginning to bloom, a Father’s Day hike is a gorgeous way to get outside and spend quality time with dad.

Biking in Aspen

Golfing Aspen

6.  Play A Round Of Golf

Experience the Roaring Fork Valley from the greens by taking dad to one of Aspen’s picturesque golf courses. No matter dad's skill level, the scenic course and outdoor fun makes for an enjoyable day.
