A trip to Aspen isn’t complete without visiting the picturesque Maroon Bells. These twin peaks rising more than 14,000 feet are the perfect spot to hike, picnic, and breathe in the wild, fresh air. For a culture fix, take in an exhibition of contemporary works at the Aspen Art Museum. After shopping at the Overland store, grab a bite and a craft beer at one of Aspen’s exclusive restaurants or breweries, then explore the downtown area’s many galleries. Later, take a drive along Independence Pass, a 20-mile-long drive along the Continental Divide—and one of the highest scenic roads in North America at 12,000 feet—for breathtaking views of forests and cliffs alike.
