This mountain town, best known for its world-class ski resorts, might seem like a better winter destination than a summer one, but Aspen , Colorado, is home to some truly fantastic summer attractions.
Families, friends, and solo travelers will all find something to do in Aspen, from hiking to music. The Rio Grande Trail is a great hiking option for beginners, and the nearby Maroon Bells offer a much more challenging – and much more rewarding – hike for more experienced hikers looking for some stunning mountain views.
Guests not looking to exhaust themselves can take a gondola ride up the side of Aspen Mountain to find yoga classes, live music, and even a golf course.
