Review:

Although Aspen is best known as a winter sports destination, this lovely town in the heart of the White River National Forest is a brilliant year-round destination for active adventurers, festival lovers and arts aficionados. Besides downhill skiing, you can try cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, ice skating and dog sledding, before rounding off your day with Après-Ski cocktails, local craft beers or a delicious meal.

In summer you can ride the Aspen Mountain Gondola, go white water rafting, horseback riding, hiking, hot air ballooning or fly fishing, or add some culture to the mix at the Aspen Art Museum, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet or Theatre Aspen. Foodies should not miss Aspen's annual FOOD & WINE Classic in June.
