Aspen, Colorado is nestled in to the Rocky Mountains and boasts some of
the best outdoor recreation in the United States. Most likely you
have heard of Aspen due to its popularity among movie stars and other
celebrities. The movies "Aspen Extreme" and "Dumb and Dumber"
made light of the high class culture that stereotypes Aspen.
Truly, however, Aspen is one of the oldest and most genuine of western
mountain towns. Compared to other Colorado ski towns, Aspen has
matured more naturally and is considered a "real town" instead of a ski
development. Thanks to its popularity among the wealthy,
luxurious services (including an airport) are available just by
snapping your fingers (and emptying the change in your pockets…).
The best time of year to visit Aspen depends on your interests.
If you are an avid skier, you'll enjoy a wide variety of terrain and
great snow! If you move at a slower pace, you might consider
visiting Aspen in the fall when the namesake trees are changing
color. For families, Aspen is a wonderful place to visit during
the summer months. Hiking, biking, swimming, summer camps and
more will provide your family with quality time together.
