See the Sights

The road to the Maroon Bells is open to vehicles, making it the perfect time to check a trip to the iconic mountains off your bucket list. The valley below is filled with dense pine forests, while the pristine Maroon Lake reflects the stunning, snow-covered peaks, creating a striking contrast. Bike to the Maroon Bells or make a shuttle or parking reservation. For an outdoor adventure, explore the area by hiking along one of the many scenic trails or camping beneath the stars with a reservation.

Aspen Activities

Take a ride up the Silver Queen Gondola on Aspen Mountain. The Gondola will open for summer sightseeing during the weekend (May 24^th-26^th) and operate on weekends only until June 21^st, when it will remain open daily. Enjoy a ride on Aspen's favorite chariot while taking in panoramic mountain views!

Hiking

Ready to hit the trails? While there are still snow patches on the mountains, lower elevation hikes provide a scenic way to explore the outdoors. From rewarding mountain climbs to paved riverside paths, Aspen has a diverse range of hiking routes.

Biking

Indulge your inner athlete with biking! Cruise down the Rio Grande Trail to the Woody Creek Tavern and relax with some delicious dishes and thirst quenching margaritas. The Rio Grande is a gradually sloped favorite, but if you’re looking for a challenge, there are a variety of thrilling mountain biking trails and picturesque road biking routes.

Golfing

If golf is more your style, play a round at the Aspen Golf Club while enjoying the incredible mountain views. Whether you’re a regular golfer or new to the sport, golfing is a fun way to get outside and soak up the weekend sunshine.

Rafting

Never been rafting? Get your feet wet in one of the three nearby rivers with Aspen's water activities.

After unforgettable experiences, you’ll be ready to refuel by enjoying Aspen’s world-class dining scene!
