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!

Have you ever taken an adventure to downtown Aspen Colorado?
What a stunning looking place! I met people from Aspen this summer and it sounds like a great place to go! These photo’s make me want to visit them now 🙂
I have heard only good things about Colorado, so want to visit next time when I’m over in US!
Yes, the hiking is phenomenal! Hope to see you there!
Great photos! I’ve always wanted to head to Colorado–I’m surprised we haven’t taken a road trip since it’s not too far of a drive from us. Hopefully we can visit soon–it looks like such a beautiful area!
You should definitely put it up on your list Jenna…Colorado is a nice central location from a lot of places on the West Coast. Summer, Fall & Winter all have their perks.
We loved Aspen, it has such an outdoorsy vibe! We only spent about 36 hours there last summer but can’t wait to go back one day…
Sweet, not a lot of time but it sure is better than nothing. Hopefully I run into you while I’m still in town! 😉
I’ve never been to Colorado but now I want to go! I’ve seen pics of Aspen and it’s beautiful in the winter, but the fall foliage is stunning too!
Winter, Summer, Fall…they’re all pretty great in Aspen! lol 😉
Ooooh I love Colorado! Havent been to Aspen yet though so will have to jump on that!
Do let me know when you visit Aspen, I’ll be sure to try and pull some strings to get you the hookup! 😀
I visited Colorado when I was a lot younger and I am always in awe of it’s raw beauty!
Colorado is such a beautiful place…that’s why I’ve had no problem spending as much time as I have here in between lengthy travels around the globe. The outdoors are perfect for exploring that raw beauty! 😉
