Introducing Aspen

Unbashfully posh Aspen is Colorado’s glitziest high-octane resort, playing host to some of the wealthiest skiers in the world. The handsome historic red-brick downtown is as alluring as the glistening slopes, but Aspen’s greatest asset is its scenery. The magnificent alpine environment, especially in fall when the aspen trees put on a spectacular display, adds extra sugary eye candy to an already glittering jewel.

Aspen Visitor Center (970-925-1940; www.aspenchamber.org; 425 Rio Grande Pl; 8am-5pm Mon-Fri) has all the usual information.
