It works better as the first thing you do, in any season. You board a block off the downtown mall, and within a few minutes the rooftops shrink away and the Roaring Fork Valley opens up behind you.\n\nThe [Silver Queen Gondola](https://www.aspensnowmass.com/four-mountains/aspen-mountain) opened in December 1986, and when it did it was the longest single-stage gondola in the world. It climbs about 3,267 vertical feet from town to the Sundeck at 11,212 feet, and the ride takes around 15 minutes each way. At the top there is a restaurant, hiking trails that leave straight from the summit, and in summer a [disc golf course](https://www.aspensnowmass.com/visit/activities/summer/disc-golf) strung down the ridge, one of the highest official courses anywhere. Play is free once you are up there, though you need a lift ticket or a pass to ride up. Go once on a clear morning and again near sunset, and one ticket buys you two different trips.\n\nFun fact: Aspen’s first uphill lift was not built for people. The Aspen Public Tramway ran from 1890 to 1893, carrying buckets of silver ore down from Tourtelotte Park, and for fifty cents round trip you could ride one of the open buckets yourself. For a town that would spend the next century building its life around lifts, it was a fitting place to start.","Ride the Silver Queen Gondola",{"id":1191,"slug":1183,"text":1192,"title":1193,"subtitle":11,"bgcolor":1185,"combined":37,"image":950,"cta":950},"O3QO1oD_QU2qVOalQ7Y1jg","When the snow melts, Aspen becomes a summer town that happens to have ski lifts, and the list of things to do in Aspen runs long. The famously beautiful trailheads start at the edge of downtown, and the days stay long enough to hike in the morning and still make an evening concert under the tent.\n\n\u003Ch3>Hiking\u003C/h3>\n\nThe walking here starts gentle and goes as hard as you care to push it. The Ute Trail is the short steep one, about a mile and a thousand vertical feet up the side of Aspen Mountain, which most people cover in an hour to an hour and a half. Hunter Creek climbs more than 700 feet in its first mile out of town, then opens into easy valley walking among the remnants of nineteenth century homesteads. For a full day above treeline, the Cathedral Lake trail runs 2.8 miles one way and gains about 2,000 feet through an aspen grove to a deep blue lake at 11,866 feet.\n\nWhichever one you pick, ease into the first day. Downtown Aspen sits at 7,908 feet, and the climbs out of the valley do not wait for your lungs to catch up.  Start early whatever the month, because the afternoons build thunderstorms and you want to be off the high ground by lunch.\n\n\u003Ch3>The Maroon Bells\u003C/h3>\n\nThe [Maroon Bells](https://www.fs.usda.gov/r02/whiteriver/recreation/maroon-bells-scenic-area) are the two peaks nearly everyone has seen without knowing the name: Maroon Peak at 14,163 feet and North Maroon Peak at 14,019 feet, reflected in Maroon Lake below. The Maroon Lake Scenic Trail runs about 1.3 miles one way along the lakeshore and meadow with the peaks standing dead ahead. It is an out and back rather than a loop, so you retrace your steps, and it stays easy the whole way. If you want more of a day, the Crater Lake trail carries on up the valley for another 1.75 miles.\n\nGetting there takes a little planning, which is part of what keeps it from being overrun. From late May to the middle of October, Maroon Creek Road closes to inbound private vehicles between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., and visitors ride the shuttle from the Maroon Bells Welcome Center at Aspen Highlands. The connecting bus from town out to Highlands is free. The [shuttle](https://www.rfta.com/routes/maroon-bells/) up to the lake is sixteen dollars for adults, and reservations are required. Go for the first buses of the morning if you can, when the light is best and the lot is quiet.\n\n\u003Ch3>Bike the Rio Grande Trail\u003C/h3>\n\nThe [Rio Grande Trail](https://www.rfta.com/trail-information/) follows an old rail corridor 42 miles down the valley, from Herron Park in Aspen to Two Rivers Park in Glenwood Springs. It is paved for all but about two miles of packed gravel between Woody Creek and Stein Park, and it holds a gentle, consistent grade, which makes it the rare mountain ride a whole family can do together. Heading downvalley you lose more than 2,000 feet over its length, so pick the turnaround before the legs or the lunch plans decide it for you. Walkers and runners share it as happily as cyclists.\n\n\u003Ch3>On the Water\u003C/h3>\n\nThe Roaring Fork River runs fast and cold through early summer, and outfitters run raft trips on it and on the nearby Colorado. As the flows drop later in the season, the same stretches soften into easy floats better suited to a mixed group. For still water instead of whitewater, the high alpine lakes above town are worth every step.\n\n\u003Ch3>Scenic Drives\u003C/h3>\n\nWhen the snow is gone, [Independence Pass](https://www.independencepass.org/) is the drive to make. State Highway 82 climbs east out of Aspen to the Continental Divide at 12,095 feet, the highest paved state highway in Colorado, with switchbacks and a narrow shelf near the top. It opens once the crews have cleared it, usually around the third week of May, and closes with the heavy snow, which in recent years has come in mid-November. Closer to town, Castle Creek Road runs eleven miles up to the old silver camp at Ashcroft, and Maroon Creek Road runs to the foot of the Bells.","Things to Do in Aspen in Summer",{"id":1195,"slug":1183,"text":1196,"title":1197,"subtitle":11,"bgcolor":1185,"combined":37,"image":1198,"cta":950},"FRWjuBVwTf6nxzSwA59ltQ","Winter is the season Aspen built its name on, and it holds up. Four separate mountains sit within a short drive of one another, so a week here can hold very different skiing without ever changing towns.\n\n\u003Ch3>Ski Aspen’s Four Mountains\u003C/h3>\n\nAspen Mountain, known to locals as Ajax, drops straight into downtown from its 11,212-foot summit, and its terrain favors strong intermediates and experts. It is one of four hills under the Aspen Snowmass banner, all on a single lift ticket. Buttermilk is the beginners’ mountain. Aspen Highlands holds the steep lines the locals chase, including the double black terrain of Highland Bowl, reached by a hike to 12,392 feet. Snowmass has the acreage for a family that skis at different levels, more than 3,300 acres and a 4,400-foot vertical rise. If you are weighing Aspen against another Colorado resort for a ski week, our guide to [Aspen vs Vail](https://invitedhome.com/articles/aspen-vs-vail)walks through the trade-offs. The 2026/27 season runs from November 26 to April 18.\n\n\u003Ch3>Off the Slopes\u003C/h3>\n\n\nAspen is set up for the days you are not skiing. The gondola runs all winter for anyone who wants the summit without the descent. Downtown keeps its galleries going through the season, and the [Aspen Art Museum](https://www.aspenartmuseum.org/) is free to walk into, Tuesday through Sunday. The [Wheeler Opera House](https://wheeleroperahouse.com/) runs films and performances most nights. Along the valley floor there are groomed cross-country tracks, and up the creek roads there are sleigh-ride dinners for the evening if you would rather trade skis for a blanket and a fire.","Things to Do in Aspen in Winter",{"url":1199,"title":950},"https://www.datocms-assets.com/131249/1789753586-aspen-winten-mountain.jpg",{"id":1201,"slug":1183,"text":1202,"title":1203,"subtitle":11,"bgcolor":1185,"combined":37,"image":1204,"cta":950},"O4FATKq6SM2-igsikPS_gQ","The last two weeks of September are the quiet reward of the Aspen calendar.

Two railroads reached the town within four months of each other, the Denver & Rio Grande in November 1887 and the Colorado Midland the following February. By 1893 roughly 13,000 people lived here and fourteen newspapers were printing. From 1891 Aspen produced more silver than any other district in the country, something like a sixth of the national supply. When Congress repealed the Sherman Silver Purchase Act in the fall of 1893, the price collapsed and the town all but emptied, holding on through decades of quiet until skiers and 10th Mountain Division veterans found the terrain after the Second World War.\n\nJerome B. Wheeler, an early investor, put up both the Wheeler Opera House and the Hotel Jerome at the height of this influx, the opera house opening in April 1889 and the hotel that November. The opera house came through arson in 1912 and a long closure, and it reopened after a full restoration in 1984. It still anchors its corner. Begin a walk downtown there and the brick storefronts along the street read differently afterward.\n\nThe Aspen Art Museum sits at the downtown crossroads, free to walk into and open Tuesday through Sunday, showing contemporary work in a building worth seeing for itself. The gallery scene fills the blocks around it, and an afternoon among them is an easy way to spend a day too hot or too cold for the trail.","Aspen History, Galleries and Main Street",{"id":1215,"slug":1183,"text":1216,"title":1217,"subtitle":11,"bgcolor":1185,"combined":37,"image":950,"cta":950},"XdBrv2SaTaurn_bvCeSQiw","Aspen has fine dining in abundance.

The thing to order is the Aspen Crud, a bourbon milkshake that began here as a code word during Prohibition, when Colorado went dry in 1916 and the bar carried on as a soda fountain. Soldiers on leave from Camp Hale with the 10th Mountain Division made it a local institution.
