The Aspen Mountain Trail is a nice way to spend a few hours, and is also a good way to acclimate yourself to altitude. You’ll get to see a lot of natural wonders along the way.
The Aspen to Crested Butte hike is a popular route during the peak months of the year. This is a good trail to take if you are a beginner, but don’t expect to do much hiking.

One of the easiest ways to experience the beauty of Aspen is by taking a short ride on the Silver Queen Gondola. The gondola takes you to the top of the mountain for a free lift. Once there, you’ll have the chance to sample the gourmet fare offered at the Sundeck Restaurant.
