Winter Recreation

Beyond downhill skiing and snowboarding, there are still plenty of ways to play in the snow in Aspen during the winter. Venture out on snowshoes and explore any one of the area’s countless snow-covered trails, channel your inner Tara Lipinski on the ice, feed your need for speed on a snowmobile, or get romantic on a classic carriage or sleigh ride.

Independence Pass Aspen, Colorado

Everything You Need to Know About Independence Pass

Adventure & Recreation | Travel Tips | 2025-07-01T14:56:29

Independence Pass, part of Colorado State Highway 82, passes over the Continental Divide between Leadville and Aspen, Colorado. The summit at the Continental Divide is 12,095 feet above sea level. It is about 32 miles long and takes anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour-and-a-half with stops along the way to enjoy the scenic views. It winds around stunning groves of aspen as the Roaring Fork River rushes nearby. The road is steep, narrow, and twisty with only a few guardrails. While it's safe, drivers must follow the speed limit and drive with caution.
