Downtown Aspen
From a hiking trip last fall!  <3 Colorado.  While this is not the most difficult hike, the views are absolutely spectacular especially when the Aspens are changing color.  Early morning is the best time to go to get beautiful lake reflections.

Aspen’s crown jewel
"This hotel is exceptional, and the only thing better than the accommodations is the people employed there. Service is unparalleled, from the front desk to valet to housekeeping. There are some nice choices in town, but I don’t think I’ll ever stay elsewhere."

I would definitely recommend going to the St. Regis for drinks and sit by the big fire. would NOT recommend going to The Little Nell - I felt like I was back in Los Angeles...why would I want that in the mountains?

Very costly and unless you have a substantial budget, would not recommend for families. Also, even the locals are upset with the overgrowth and commercialization of what once was a quaint town. EVERYTHING is monetized, right down to parking.

Fine place to go visit. Family friendly. Expensive. But you shouldn’t need to read my review to know that.
