Regardless of the season, there is always something on the go in Aspen, making this mountain town a great choice for a birthday trip in Colorado. If you are planning a winter visit you will have no fewer than 4 separate ski resorts to choose from for a day of fun in the snow. At Aspen’s high altitude of 8,000 feet, the ski season lasts almost 6 months so you have a wide choice of times to visit. If you prefer to explore during the summer months, you could go on a guided tour of the famous Smuggler Mine which produced tons of silver during Aspen’s mining heydays. Other Aspen attractions include annual film and music festivals, fabulous hiking and biking trails, outstanding dining, and many cultural attractions.
