Things To Do
Maroon Bells
If you haven’t heard, this is Abbi’s absolute favorite place in the world! The Maroon Bells Scenic Area features several hiking trails ranging from short hikes and walks (1-5 miles) near Maroon Lake to longer overnight backpacking trips into the Maroon-Snowmass Wilderness. You will likely need a shuttle reservation but check the website or ask us if curious! We are planning a group hike here on both Friday and Saturday for those interested.
John Denver Sanctuary
The John Denver Sanctuary is nestled in the heart of Aspen, next to the Rio Grande Park. The Song Garden features many of the iconic singer's lyrics etched into native river boulders placed in a perfect circle to represent the circle of life as a score of music. At the circle's center, a single Colorado Blue Spruce was planted which symbolizes the spirit of John. It is an idyllic location and visitors will not wonder for long where "Rocky Mountain High" originated. The man-made wetlands and winding streams work as an innovative stormwater filter system, cleaning water before it drains into the Roaring Fork River.
Aspen Bikes
Rent a bike and tour the beautiful bike paths along the Aspen creeks! (Ask Abbi (re: Alex) for recommendations)
Aspen, downtown
Stroll the streets of downtown Aspen and enjoy the yummy cuisine - or go full Aspen and buy a fur coat (actually, please don’t!)
Gondola
Take the Aspen Gondola up Aspen Mountain for beautiful views in non-ski season!
