5 of the Best Things to Do in Aspen in November
1. Get Outside
November is known for a few flurries throughout the month, but you can still find time to get outside! As long as you bundle up and make sure it’s not going to snow, you can still hit the trails in the beginning of the month. The Rio Grande Trail is always fun, and Maroon Creek Road closes to vehicles during this time. You can take a fat bike ride to Maroon Lake on it!
2. Time to Dine
If you’re looking to get out of the chilly November weather, head to one of the many restaurants in town to enjoy a delicious meal and a drink or two. Aspen is known for its incredible chefs and mixologists, and dining around town is a favorite pastime of locals and visitors alike.
