Things To Do
Maroon Bells
A must see, especially during the fall! Get your postcard photo here!
Hunter Creek Trail Head
Go to the spot where Jeff proposed to Macy! A nice short hike out of Aspen that takes you creekside up to Lenado Gulch, where you'll find yourself in a vast opening of grasses and aspen trees; not to mention some old rustic cabin structures. See if you can find "our" Aspen tree near one of the cabins.
Aspen Mountain Gondola
A great way to experience some amazing mountain views, without doing much on foot trekking!
Independence Pass
Go and drive The Continental Divide! From Denver this will add about 40-60 min to your drive, but if you've got the time and want amazing roadside views, take this drive. Especially during the fall as the Aspens may have started turning to a golden yellow. Take 285 out of Denver, instead of i70
Ashcroft Ghost Town
Check out a ghost town from 1885
Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park
Ruedi Reservoir
Take a Hike
Colorado is an outdoor playground! Get outside and go exploring, take in some fresh mountain air
