What Is There to Do in Downtown Aspen?

Head to one of our favorite bars to relax after a day out on the town, or have our concierge make reservations for you at one of Aspen’s top eateries. 

Visit Some Art Galleries

Aspen is known for its art galleries, and it is no wonder that many artists have been inspired by the mountain landscape. Stroll down the beautiful red and black brick sidewalks as you peek into gallery windows. You’ll see fine art, glass, and themed galleries that have every type of medium imaginable represented.

Everything You Need to Know About an Aspen Spring Break

Whether your kids have the week off from school or you’re just looking for a springtime getaway, Aspen is the place to be. Ski towns are wonderful in the spring. The weather is a bit warmer so you don’t have to worry about bundling up as much, and an Aspen spring break is probably your last chance to hit the slopes until the next ski season. You’ll want to make visiting Aspen in the spring a yearly tradition! 

Start planning your Aspen spring break when you access our complimentary Travel Guide. Inside, you’ll find a list of our favorite things to see and do in the area! 

4 Tips for the Best Aspen Spring Break

1. Hit the Slopes

Hitting the slopes is a must during your Aspen spring break! There are four mountains to choose from, so there’s plenty of room for all the skiers and snowboarders looking to get their last few runs in before the slopes close for the season. The mountains close mid-April, so it’s truly your last chance! 

2. Attend the Last of Ullr Nights

Ullr Nights are fun for the whole family. Every Friday until the end of March, you’re invited to Elk Camp to enjoy all sorts of snowy activities at night. Start by sledding, snowshoe tours, or snow biking before warming up by the fire with a cup of hot chocolate and s’mores. We love Ullr Nights because the attendees always have a great sense of camaraderie! 

3. Don’t Miss the Bud Light Spring Jam

The Bud Light Spring Jam celebrates the spring season with music, snow sports, and tons of fun! There are snowsport competitions, free concerts, and more. Another huge part of this event is the Helly Hansen 4 MTN Mission. This is best described as a scavenger hunt across the four mountains. You’ll have to follow clues to earn points along the way!

4. Take Advantage of Our Concierge

One of the many benefits of staying with Aspen Signature Properties is our concierge service. If there’s something you’re dreaming of doing on your Aspen spring break, our concierge will make it happen. Whether you need to secure lift tickets or want to make a special dinner reservation, we will help you plan the vacation of a lifetime.

What Are the Four Mountains in Aspen?

There are countless things that make Aspen, Colorado, special, but many visit our town to answer the call of the mountain. There are four mountains in Aspen: Snowmass, Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, and Buttermilk. You can explore them all during your stay with Aspen Signature Vacation Rentals! Planning an Aspen getaway? Make sure you get a copy of our complimentary Travel Guide to start planning your stay!

Get the Travel Guide

What You Need to Know About the Four Mountains in Aspen

Aspen Mountain 

Aspen Mountain, also known as Ajax by the locals, is famous for its ski scene. Experience steep glades, bumps, and incredible views. The terrain is pretty complex here, so we always recommend this mountain for intermediate and expert skiers. It’s a great place to be challenged! 

After a day out on the slopes, head to one of the many restaurants at the mountain. Bonnie’s is a classic, go-to spot, and Sundeck is perfect for après ski. 

Aspen Highlands

If you’re a local, you probably ski at Aspen Highlands. Here, you’ll find plenty of expert terrains, groomed cruisers, and stunning views of the famous Maroon Bells. If you prefer backcountry skiing, the Highland Bowl is for you! Hike about 30 minutes up to the summit for a 2,500-foot descent. It’s the perfect way to get away from it all– there are no lift lines, and barely anyone is on these nature-made slopes! 

Buttermilk Mountain

If you’re familiar with the Winter X Games, you have probably heard of Buttermilk Mountain. This mountain is perfect for beginners, families, and those that prefer a more leisurely ski experience. The gently rolling trails are easy enough for those just starting out, and you’ll love knowing you’re skiing exactly where some of the most famous athletes in winter sports have competed. Head to Cliffhouse for lunch to fuel up with some healthy eats before getting back out on the slopes!

Snowmass Mountain

If you want to explore Snowmass, make sure you plan for at least a few days! Snowmass has the most vertical feet in the entire country– there’s no way you can take advantage of all 4,406 vertical feet in just one day. Plus, there are 91 trails and 21 chairlifts! We love Snowmass Mountain because you’ll never run out of things to explore. Sam’s is conveniently located on top of Sam’s Knob on Snowmass, and it’s the perfect place for après ski drinks and bites.

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

The Insider’s Guide to Aspen Fall Colors and Foliage

“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.”
– Albert Camus

There’s no feeling like waking up and realizing that fall has settled on Aspen. Our warm summer air transforms into a crisp breeze, and the mountaintops come alive with brilliant shades of gold as the leaves change colors. Whether you’re hiking, biking, or driving, the Aspen fall colors will not disappoint.

Start planning your autumn getaway when you access our complimentary Aspen Travel Guide!

Get the Travel Guide

What Is the Best Time for Fall Colors in Colorado?

The best time to see our gorgeous Aspen fall colors is typically during the third or fourth week of September. We recommend consulting a fall foliage map to get the exact time of peak season. 

How and Where to See Aspen Fall Colors

Maroon Bells with Snow - HikeOn Foot

Recommendation: Cathedral Lake

We love hiking in the fall because it means that you can take in our gorgeous foliage at your own pace. Take a moment to gaze up at the treetops or take a water break at a scenic overlook. 

We recommend hiking a trail like Cathedral Lake. The first mile of the trail meanders through deep Aspen groves that feel especially magical when littered with soft, gold leaves. Within the first hour, you’ll pop out of the trees and get your first glimpse of the high alpine valley with its open meadows and the cascading waterfalls of Castle Creek. From there, it’s a steep climb up a series of switchbacks to the final traverse across open tundra to the alpine lake. Take in the view at 11,888 feet with cathedral-like towers of rock and a lake of deep turquoise blue.

View of Snowmass, CO in FallOther Hikes to See Aspen Fall Colors: 

Smuggler Mountain Overlook – Hike 1.44 miles up Smuggler Mountain Road and take in the views of downtown Aspen, Aspen Mountain, Independence Pass, and the Roaring Fork Valley.

South Rim Trail / Yin Yang – This 2.6-mile hike is located right in Snowmass Village. Trek to the gorgeous viewing area to see Old Snowmass, Mount Daly, and Capitol Peak.

Crater Lake – Drive up to the Maroon Bells and hike up to Crater Lake.  This 1.8-mile hike brings you to the majestic Crater Lake that is surrounded by Aspen’s fourteeners.

East of Aspen Trail – Walk or bike up towards Independence Pass on the East of Aspen Trail along the Roaring Fork River. Stop by the North Star Preserve beach, also known as Stillwater Beach, and take in the views with friends and family.

Aspen Mountain – Every Saturday and Sunday, hike up Aspen Mountain via the Ute Trail to the Sundeck. Enjoy the view of the Castle Creek Valley and the Maroon Creek Valley while you have lunch.

By Bike

Recommendation: The Two Valleys (Also Known as “the Sisters”) 

The Aspen area has many great biking trails, but road cyclists from all over the world come to Aspen to test their legs and lungs on this classic ride that affords some of the most awe-inspiring scenery in the Roaring Fork Valley. Maroon Creek Road and Castle Creek Road are the crown jewels of Aspen’s repertoire of world-class road rides. Both offer unparalleled scenery and very few cars—the hallmark of a perfect ride.

By Car 

Recommendation: Independence Pass to Twin Lakes

Even when the leaves aren’t turning, Independence Pass is one of the most scenic mountain passes in Colorado. In the fall, it’s especially stunning. Begin in downtown Aspen and head up Highway 82 East. Make your way through several Aspen groves that canopy the road between Weller Lake and Lincoln Creek. 

Save the best for last– just before the summit, a panoramic view of the entire valley lets you gaze out over the patchwork quilt of color. Head over to the other side for more jaw-dropping beauty as the road descends on steep, heart-stopping switchbacks before landing in the lush valley.

Our Favorite Leaf Peeping Patios

Pine Creek Cookhouse – Drive or bike up Castle Creek Valley, a beautiful spot known for one of the biggest Aspen groves in Pitkin County. Enjoy high-end American cuisine that features local ingredients while you take in the beautiful views of the Elk Mountain Range on the patio. 

Home Team BBQ – Not only is this BBQ joint a local favorite, it has the best wings in town. Take a moment with the menu and order one of their famous frozen drinks like the “Game Changer.” Then, enjoy the views while sipping a frozen concoction on the patio at the base of Buttermilk Ski Mountain.

5 of the Best Aspen Biking Trails to Pedal

It’s no secret that Aspen is filled with countless opportunities for outdoor activities. Reach new heights on a hike, get your adrenaline pumping on a whitewater rafting excursion, watch the sunset over the mountains, and more. Embrace our outdoor lifestyle when you embark on the Aspen biking trails! From exciting mountain biking trails to easy paved pathways, here are our favorite places to pedal. Learn all about the other things to do and see in Aspen when you access our complimentary Travel Guide.

Get the Travel Guide

Pedal These 5 Best Aspen Biking Trails

1. Rio Grande Trail

The Rio Grande Trail is easily one of the most popular Aspen biking trails. This partly paved pathway winds for 42 miles all the way from downtown Aspen to Glenwood Springs. The trail is relatively flat, so it’s great for novice bikers and families along with those looking to ride long distances. Along the way, you’ll experience beautiful views of the Roaring Fork River, the Rocky Mountains, and beautiful meadows.

2. Hunter Creek

Smuggler Mountain to Hunter Creek, fondly known to the locals as “Smuggs,” is an excellent mountain biking route. Depending on the course you take, your ride can be anywhere from one to five hours of steep, rocky trails. Most of the trails here are considered intermediate, but keep in mind that there will be some challenges along the way, like the rigorous climb up a Jeep road that starts the ride.

3. Sky Mountain Park

We love sending avid bikers to Sky Mountain Park because it was purposely created and designed by mountain bikers for fellow mountain bikers. After its debut in 2011, it became one of the most acclaimed trails in the area. See stunning views as you ride all the way from Aspen to Snowmass and back. During our travels, make sure you take in the 360-degree views of the Roaring Fork Valley.

4. Snowmass Bike Park

If you’re a beginner mountain biker or need a place for the entire family to enjoy, the Snowmass Bike Park is perfect for you. Here, there are lift-service trails, so you don’t have to overexert yourself by pedaling uphill. Head up the Elk Camp Gondola, then show the kids the ropes at the skills park and mini pump track. Once you’re ready, it’s time to take on one of the trails here!

5. Sunnyside Trail

The Sunnyside Trail is a 10-mile route that connects Red Mountain to the Hunter Creek Valley. The trail is deemed intermediate to moderate, so it can be a bit of a challenge at times. Once you’re at the top of Red Mountain, you’ll see awe-inspiring views of the valley below and distant Elk Mountain Range peaks.
