Aspen, Colorado
Aspen's location on the eastern part of White River National Forest in the midst of the beautiful Elk Mountains, makes it the perfect choice for year-round outdoor activities. Winter fun includes snowmobiling, skiing, dog sledding, ballooning, paragliding, ice climbing, and even fishing.
Summer visitors have a wide range of choices, too, such as golf, hiking, biking, and summer ski lift rides. A summer ride up the lifts gives a panoramic view of the town and the valley. The weather is pleasant and mild, and the ride back down on the lift is indescribable.
