We hiked the Four Pass Loop, which was a very challenging trail with rewarding views. We did a…read morethree-night backpacking trip and camped at sites along the trail. There was a hefty amount of elevation gain. There were plenty of streams to filter water from with several river crossings as well as sketchy snow crossings where we lost the trail. Navigation was a challenge at times as there was limited signage. Even in July, which is the most recommended month to hike, the weather was dicey with some heavy afternoon thunderstorms. You do have to reserve your permits online far in advance and book bus tickets from Aspen as park parking is very limited. WAG bags were recommended, but not required when we went.

Such a cool spot and definitely something you need to do if you are in Aspen! We went during spring…read moreoffseason, rented bikes from Velo E-bikes in Aspen (don't go anywhere else to rent but Velo - trust!!) and rode from Aspen all the way up to Maroon bells without a single hider or issue - even despite the misinformation we received from e-bike places we called around town. Highly recommend using e-bike versus manual bikes or walking there. In the summer they offer shuttle services to Maroon bells which would also make it easier to get there. I can imagine in the summer it's probably over saturated with people and busy. When we went it was beautiful, quiet, and serene. I wouldn't have wanted to be there any other time. The bike routes are well marked and we got to ride on the closed road all the way to the picnic area at the base of maroon bells. If you come to Aspen, you should absolutely factor this into your itinerary!

Up for an adventure? These are the guys to go to in Aspen. We did a half day of ice climbing; a…read morestrenuous but exhilarating experience. The ice waterfall you climb is about a 20 minute hike into a park. You do need to carry some gear and the fresh snow made the élan a little tough, but the terrain was flat. Our guide then secured the belay line and showed us how to ice climb. My wife and I have no experience and low to moderate athletic abilities (we are not rock climbers). Swinging that ice tool into the ice and starting your climb is a rush, but pace yourself. It is a difficult climb to the top. Highly recommend the experience. Average athletic ability recommended.

One down side is the size and location of the weight room... more like a weight hallway. It's located in the basement - the dumb bells go up to 100 lbs which is wonderful, there are two squat racks, two cable machines and some other targeted muscle group machines. If you are looking for a slightly better experience than a hotel gym, this is perfect - if you're looking to get an intense-varied workout ... try somewhere else? Overall it was clean, quiet, and fine for a single session.

Both were friendly, patient, caring and skilled. Mary has a ton of experience doing the most extreme things imaginable. This company can set you up with a guided trip doing just about anything... overnight backpacking, ice climbing, rock climbing, pick your poison. I'd definitely go out with them again, everyone was all smiles on both trips.

It was gorgeous and peaceful, and we didn't see another soul. My guide was Buzz Patten, who was great - having lived in Aspen for 40+ years, he had a tremendous amount of local knowledge.He was good company on the hike and followed up after the trip with suggestions for my next trip to Colorado. I would strongly recommend this trip and Buzz in particular for anyone who's looking for something a little different to do in Aspen during the winter.
