Things to do in Aspen
Hit the Slopes
If you are here in the winter season, you absolutely have to ski the famous slopes in Aspen, Colorado. Choose between four incredible mountains sprawling across two towns.
Shop 'til You Drop
Aspen is known for its fair share of luxury shopping lining the quaint streets of downtown Aspen. From Fendi to Louis, Dior to Ralph Lauren, you will have no shortage of spend-worthy shops to choose from.
Customize Your Own Cowgirl Hat
One unique experience your girls will be sure to love is Kemo Sabe. Head to their shop to create your very own hat designed with colorful feathers, leather and your initials branded onto the side of your hat.
Hike Maroon Bells
Your trip would not be complete without a visit to the stunning Maroon Bells. Whether you are looking for a scenic walk at the base or a longer walk to Crater Lake, you will be surrounded by 360-degree views of breathtaking Colorado views.
Cheers!
A day in Aspen wouldn’t be complete without a stop at Hooch Craft Cocktail Bar. This cozy bar lends itself to the perfect place to cheers a crisp Aperol spritz!
Places to eat & drink in Aspen
White House Tavern
Two words: French Dip! You can’t go wrong with a cozy meal at White House Tavern, there’s truly nothing on the menu that will disappoint.
Matsuhisa
This will forever be my death row meal. You absolutely will not regret a single thing you order off their menu. Promise you will not skip the Yellowtail Sashimi with Jalapenos. Thank me later!
Meat & Cheese
If you’re anything like me you have to finish a day with charcuterie, I mean is there any other way to finish a day? Après with a board of locally sourced meats and cheeses and a cold glass of wine!
Clark’s Oyster Bar
The vibes at Clark’s are immaculate. Don’t skip out on their happy hour for a delicious bite of seafood and a cold spritz to finish off your day!
