A Tourist and Visitor Guide for Aspen Colorado

Aspen, Colorado

Do you want a fun vacation for the whole family?  A romantic getaway? An action packed adventure? Aspen, Colorado has something for everyone!

 

 

Aspen is among the most popular ski destinations in the entire Western United States. Some people only think of the area as a snow paradise, but the surrounding mountain area provide a massive playground for both winter and summer activities.

 

Aspen is surrounded by mountain and wilderness areas on three sides;  the Red Mountain to the north, Smuggler Mountain to the east, and Aspen Mountain to the south. The trees and landscape are stunningly beautiful to behold in person. The city was named because of the abundance of aspen trees in the area.

 

 

There are a wide variety of things that a visitor can do. Whether you want to tour the historic landmarks, shop at the trendy outlets or smaller local stores, or see the art galleries, the town of Aspen has something going on throughout the entire year.

Aspen festivals such as Film Fest, Comedy Arts Festival, and Music Festival are some of the special events that take place.

Aspen's main and only airport is Aspen-Pitkin County Airport also known as Sardy Field. Connections with Denver International Airport is only 162 miles away.
