Aspen is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream! Roughly a half million acres of wilderness offers hikers, bikers and horseback riders miles of trails on which to enjoy the surrounding beauty.
For whitewater rafting and kayaking, the Colorado, Arkansas and Roaring Fork Rivers provide world-class adventure, from adrenaline-charged rides to leisurely floats! Trout fishing in the gold-medal side waters is another popular activity.
The Elk Mountain Range and Independence Pass crags are renowned for their mountaineering and technical climbing routes. For a more relaxing way to experience the landscape from above, consider drifting in a hot-air balloon or paraglider.
Aspen provides a range of activities, including excellent golf courses with mountain views, guided nature walks, twilight barbecue dinners, disc golf, mountain scooters, horseback riding, mountain biking, and more at such resorts as Aspen/Snowmass.
