Downtown Aspen
We had a great time here, watching the US/Belgium world cup match, with a great and very enthusiastic (college soccer player) owner, and crowd.  The food is tex/mex style, quite good and the portions are generous

East Aspen

If you're spending some time in East Aspen, Roaring Fork River and Aspen Mountain are top sights worth seeing.

East 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.

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?

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

It is our favorite family vacation destination! It has it all; activities, food, and fun.

Aspen was what I thought it would be and I loved it more Seeing it in person

5/5 - Excellent

Cute town surrounded by beautiful mountains

3/5 - Okay

RT

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.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

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