The Snowmass Rodeo is the longest running rodeo in Colorado and takes place every Wednesday from 7:00-9:00pm. We recommend purchasing tickets in advance on snowmassrodeo.org as the events do sell out! Parking is extremely limited. You can take the free RFTA bus from Aspen to Town Park Station.
Live music on Fanny Hill every Thursday night! This local favorite and long-standing summer tradition begins at 6:30pm. We recommend going an hour early to claim a spot on the hill, plus packing a picnic and bringing a blanket to hang on.
Located 10 miles from Aspen up Maroon Creek Road, the Maroon Bells are a must-see! We recommend renting e-bikes from a local shop such as Aspen Bikes and taking a scenic roundtrip ride over to Maroon Bells. The free Castle/Maroon bus leaves downtown Aspen from the Rubey Park Bus Station every 20 minutes and connects to the Maroon Bells shuttle at Aspen Highlands. You will need to purchase a ticket in advance to take the Maroon Bells shuttle. Shuttle reservations can be found at https://aspenchamber.org/plan-trip/trip-highlights/maroon-bells/reservations.
The Silver Queen Gondola travels 2.5 miles from the heart of Aspen to the 11,000-foot-high summit of Aspen Mountain. You can go for a short hike atop the mountain with clearly marked trails that lead to forests, meadows, and more scenic views. There's also the Sundeck at the top of the mountain for a great spot to relax and grab a drink.
Our favorite activity every Saturday from 8:30am-2:00pm! The market offers Colorado-grown fruits, vegetables, bread, meats, jams, and more, as well as local vendors for lunch or a snack. The market makes a U-shape from the corner of Galena & Hopkins Ave to Hunter St & then back again to the intersection of Hyman & Galena.

Clark's Oyster Bar: Chef Lou recommends his favorite Crab Louie salad. Meat & Cheese: Perfect spot for an easy outdoor lunch. Ajax Tavern: Famous outdoor patio at the base of Aspen Mountain.
