I got invited here by my friends for the Aspen Food & Wine Classic 30th. I've been to Aspen before for snowboarding, but never been here in the summer. Aspen is known for the social, the wealth, the world class shopping,and of course the four local "super quartet" of mountains: Aspen, Snowmass, Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk. When they told me it's the Ritz, and the Food & Wine Classic Grand Cochon, I said yes as quick as possibly could :-)
The Ritz-Carlton Club Aspen Highlands sits at the foot of a 12,500 ft. mountain with stunning views and 125 trails. Beside the perfect location for skiing in the winter, but being here in the summer, it's stunning. It's picturesque as you see in postcards. The Ritz-Carlton Club Aspen Highlands also has an outdoor pool, Jacuzzi that facing the mountain. Each day I made time to stay out here for an hour, while everyone chowed down at the Food & Wine Classic. Then I walked to downtown Aspen, and hiked back up here, 6 miles round trip, admire this beautiful outdoor friendly city. So many trails, and I feel so safe by myself wandering this town that I've never had a chance to do in the winter.
The Ritz-Carlton Club Aspen Highlands has a well-appointed spa and fitness center, the service is impeccable here.
