3 Aspen Museums You Need to Add to Your Itinerary 

The Aspen Art Museum 

There are many reasons to visit Aspen — one of them being its museums. There’s nothing better than stepping into a building and coming out of it more knowledgeable than before. If that’s the kind of experience you’re looking for, then the Aspen Art Museum is for you. Dive into the world of contemporary art at this institution and immerse your senses in incredible works. The museum rotates their exhibitions often, so there are new things to discover during each visit! The best part? Admission is always free.  

The Aspen Institute 

The Aspen Institute is not a museum per say, but when it comes to amazing cultural experiences, it’s at the top of our list. This non-profit strives to create conversations and bring people together through a variety of topics. The Institute often hosts events ranging from literature to communication, the economy, and the environment. Check out their upcoming events to see what’s happening during your stay and grab your tickets in advance.  

Aspen Historical Society 

Another Aspen museum we love is the Aspen Historical Society. Take a step back in time as you explore decades (and centuries) of history that have shaped Aspen into the beautiful town we know and love today. Visit the Wheeler/Stallard Museum, located in a gorgeous Victorian home, from Tuesday to Saturday. It’s open to seniors from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. and welcomes the general public from 12 to 5 p.m.

3 Activities to Enjoy in Springtime in Aspen

Go on a Scenic Drive Through Maroon Bells 

If there’s one thing Aspen doesn’t lack, it’s jaw-dropping scenery! Admire all the beauty that the month of May brings with a scenic drive through Maroon Bells. Here, you’ll have 360-degree-views of the mountains and the lush nature surrounding them. 

Another reason why spring is the ideal time to go on a road trip is because there are no toll fees. The road to the bells officially opens at the beginning of May, but starting in June, a fee of $10 per vehicle is required from 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Maroon Bells is also a great spot for hiking, so don’t forget to pack your hiking shoes! 

Relax at a Hot Spring 

May in Aspen is a time when things slow down. After the busy winter season, you’ll want some time to focus on yourself! There’s no better way to do that than by visiting a hot spring. Aspen is home to many springs that will help you relax and enjoy the region’s beautiful views at the same time.  

Grab Lunch Downtown 

How about treating yourself to a delicious meal during your stay? Aspen is home to several world-class restaurants that are sure to satisfy your cravings. Take advantage of seasonal specials and taste local products at reduced prices. Plus, parking downtown is free on weekends, so there’s no need to drive around trying to find a spot before walking to your favorite restaurant. 

Visit the Aspen Art Museum 

We know that the weather in Aspen can be unpredictable, so it’s always a good idea to have a backup plan in case it rains. The Aspen Art Museum is one of our favorite places to explore. Not only is the museum free to the public, but it also features an extensive collection of ongoing exhibitions and events to please the entire family. Feel free to grab a bite at the museum’s café before returning to your Aspen Signature Vacation Rental.

Cross-Country Skiing 

If alpine skiing isn’t your cup of tea, try cross-country instead. This is a great option for travelers who still want to enjoy the outdoors and make the most of the snow. Not only is cross-country skiing an excellent workout, but it also offers the chance to explore trails that are off-the-beaten-path in Aspen’s lush forest. The Aspen Nordic Trail System is the perfect place for beginners to start! 

Horseback Riding 

When weather permits, horseback riding can be a fun and unique activity for you and your loved ones to try. Imagine strolling Aspen’s landscape on saddleback, channeling your inner cowboy or cowgirl in the mountains! Maroon Bells Guide and Outfitters offers scenic rides for the entire family. They are also conveniently located just outside of downtown Aspen. If you’re feeling romantic, book a lunch or dinner ride for two with a picnic included. 

Hiking and Mountain Biking 

Spring in Aspen also welcomes the return of warmer temperatures and lush flora and fauna. If you want to hit the trails after a long winter, now is the time! Our area boasts many wonderful hiking and mountain biking trails that you and your group will love. Whether you are a novice or experienced hiker/biker, you’re in for a memorable adventure. 

Shopping 

Another spring activity to consider is shopping. There’s nothing like taking a leisurely stroll downtown and indulging in some retail therapy! Treat yourself to a new outfit, skiing accessories, or gear for your outdoor adventures. Before you return to your vacation rental, make sure you book a table at one of downtown Aspen’s many restaurants and try our delicious, locally sourced food.

5 Tips for Planning the Perfect Aspen Wedding 

Pick the Right Time of Year 

The first thing that you should probably figure out above all is when you want to get married. Now that the initial excitement of the engagement has worn off, and you need to sit down to plan things out, you might find yourself drowning in an endless list of to-dos. Where do you begin? You start by picking a date, and the only way to do that is to figure out when the best wedding season is in Aspen! Since every couple is different, there’s no straight-forward answer to that.  

If you are dreaming of winter–wonderland wedding, then December and January are the perfect times to pick because there will be snow and dazzling Christmas lights. Note that the winter weather can make it tricky for guests to get there, so if you’d rather play it safe and wait for warmer days, mid-May to late August is more reasonable. Not only will you be able to enjoy sunnier days and lush mountain backdrops, but you will also have more venue options when it comes to outdoor ceremonies! 

Find the Venue of Your Dreams 

Now that you have a date in mind, it’s time to secure a venue for your ceremony and reception. The first thing to figure out is whether you want an outdoor or an indoor wedding. Both options are great ideas in Aspen, but outdoor ceremonies and receptions are dependent on the weather, so we still recommend having a backup plan just in case. After all, the last thing you want to do during the days leading up to your wedding is worry! If you’re not from the area, knowing where to find the most stunning venues can be tricky. Here are some of our favorites we recommend: 

Figure Out Which Vendors to Prioritize 

Congratulations! Now that you have both your wedding date and location, you can focus on all the fun details! Vendors make up a great part of your budget, so it’s important to not only know which one to prioritize, but also which ones to work with. We recommend creating a top–three list to find out what is important to you and your future spouse. For example, is photography more important than the entertainment? Is the food more important than the florals? No matter what you choose to put first, you can’t go wrong, but it helps to know where to allocate your budget. Another great idea is to work directly with your venue when choosing your vendors. Indeed, most places will have a pre-made list of businesses they exclusively work with, which can help simplify your personal search, so take advantage of it! 

Spice Up Your Wedding Photoshoot! 

Do you want to have a wedding photoshoot prior to your big day? This could be either an engagement shoot to create personalized save–the–dates or formal wedding portraits to avoid having to do it all on your big day. You can either do the shoot at your venue to match the photos that will be taken on your wedding day, or you can be more creative and make the most of Aspen’s stunning surroundings! There’s nothing like shooting in nature surrounded by the mountains and turquoise lakes.  

Offer Your Guest (And Yourself!) Top-Notch Accommodations 

Your wedding is about you and your soon-to-be spouse. However, included are all the loved ones you wish to invite. If your Aspen wedding is a destination wedding, then you will need a variety of options. Luckily for you, we have the perfect solution. Aspen Signature Vacation Rentals offers the best selection of homes and condos in the area and can accommodate couples just as much as larger families. 

Browse our properties today and get a better idea of what you are looking for! We recommend booking your bridal party rentals ahead to not have to worry about it, then figure out a place for you and your spouse to stay after the reception. To make things easier for your guests, you can link our properties’ page directly on your wedding website so each can individually take care of the booking process.
