The Silver Queen Gondola runs from the gondola plaza in downtown Aspen to the top of Aspen Mountain. At 12,000 feet long, the Silver Queen Gondola is one of the longest single-stage gondolas in North America. It whisks riders up 3,267 vertical feet to 11,200 feet in 14 gorgeous minutes. We'll be camping at a site nearby to Aspen during our first few days in ColoRADo!
