Take the shuttle up to the Maroon Bells for one of the best views in all of Colorado. From Maroon Lake there are plenty of hiking options for those looking to work up a sweat. Please note you cannot drive up to the Maroon Bells and must take the shuttle that leaves from the Aspen Highlands parking garage. I strongly recommend making a shuttle reservation in advanced as the shuttle sells out quickly.
Take a drive along the famous Independence Pass for amazing views.
Take a drive up to Ashcroft to see the abandoned ghost town. While there you can get immersed in the aspens groves along the Cathedral Lakes or American Lakes trail. Grab lunch at the Pine Creek Cookhouse.
A great hiking area off of independence pass that offers views of waterfalls and caves.
