Woody Creek Tavern
The famous restaurant was a long-time hangout of writer Hunter S. Thompson, who lived in Aspen. Has some of the best margaritas in the valley!

Fly Fishing
Basalt is known for its world-class fly fishing, and it's one of our favorite summer activities. Ryan even proposed to Michelle on a fly fishing trip! If you're interested, reach out to Taylor Creek Fly Shop for a guided fly fishing lesson.
Whitewater Rafting
June is a great time to explore our valley's rivers by whitewater rafting! We recommend the Glenwood Canyon or Roaring Fork River routes.
