Welcome to the Aspen Area

To make the most of Summer in the Aspen-Snowmass area requires one thing: getting outside. Get wet and wild on a whitewater raft trip down the Roaring Fork, Colorado or the Arkansas rivers with the local guides at Blazing Adventures, 800-282-7238.

Hit the open road and take in the sights of Colorado on a Harley-Davidson from Aspen Valley Harley-Davidson in Glenwood Springs, 970-928-7493, offering both rental bikes and bikes for sale. Or if you’d rather perfect your off-road technique, spend some time at the Aspen DirtBike School, 970 923 9527. If you’d rather supply the horse-power yourself, hit the roads and trails on a mountain or road bike from Ajax Bike & Sports in Carbondale, 970 925 7662 or Four Mountain Sports in Aspen, 970-923-8743. Their knowledgeable staffs can set you up with the perfect bike and directions for the perfect ride for bikers of any ability level. Test your skills on the Smuggler Mine Road or Sunnyside Trail, or cruise down the Rio Grande trail or Summer Road. 

Get high in the Rockies flying a paraglider! Aspen Expeditions boast some of the nation’s premier professional tandem paragliding pilots in one of the most sought-after paragliding destinations in the world, 970-925-7625.

If you prefer your adventure closer to the ground, call Blazing Adventures, 970-923-4544, for Jeep Tours that will take you through meadows and forests and into the mountains for breathtaking views.

Get out on the links and enjoy the extra distance our high-mountain air will give your drives! Aspen has an 18-hole pristine public golf course that is open for tee-times.  The Aspen Golf Course provides golf as well as tennis lessons for all ages (925-2145.) 

Or take to the rivers and streams with a fly-fishing guide from Aspen Expeditions 970-925-7625, 379.7963. They know the local waters like the backs of their hands! 

And if the mountain thunderstorms chase you indoors, don’t fret, Aspen has plenty of great indoor activities, too.
