There’s no question why people travel from all around the globe deep into the mountains of Colorado to visit Aspen.  It’s a world-class destination for vacationing and, arguably, one of the best ski spots in North America.  Fall in Aspen, Colorado, alone, hosts acres upon acres of gorgeous Aspen groves over the jagged mountains.

But what most folks don’t realize is the sheer beauty that there is to behold during the summer as well.  Aspen offers some of the best mountain biking, whitewater rafting, scenic views of mountains, off-the-beaten-path backpacking and pretty much any other activity in the area.  

Needless to say, it’s an outdoorsman haven!

But to see Aspen in person; the blue skies, pleasant 80-85 degree days and snuggly 50 degree nights is a totally different story in itself.  So without further ado, walk with me as I take one afternoon to browse around downtown Aspen and just one of its gorgeous parks!
