They take you around on the trails a bit before going to see Maroon Bells. It's a beautiful view and you spend some time there with a warm drink provided. Be prepared for it to be cold. We do a lot of outdoor activities, but they all involve us moving and generating heat. The wind blowing on you while you're just sitting there makes it very cold. The thing that ruined the experience for us a bit was the rest of the group we were with. They were awful drivers. They kept driving off the trail even when it was very wide. They were also all tailgating and swerving like crazy. They made it so we had to stop frequently because people kept getting stuck. I wish the guides would have told them to knock it off because they definitely weren't following the directions we were given at the beginning. Overall, I'm definitely glad we did it. I'm not sure how often we'd do it since it's so expensive, but it was fun to do once.

She followed up with us on a few questions we had and was in communication throughout about water levels and our safety. I also spoke with Adam, who was also very nice and helpful. For our rafting trip, Mitch, our guide, and John, our driver, were beyond amazing from the very beginning. Our safety (and COVID-19 protocols) were the number one priority for the duration of our trip. Mitch was so fun and knowledgeable about the local geography, geology, lore, and wildlife. He was wonderful with our curious and adventurous six-year-old son! John was super! He wanted to make sure we were all comfortable and taken care of the whole trip. I would recommend this trip company for anyone looking for adventure in the area!

We spent 2 days skii'ing in Aspen and did some crazy stuff, but this tour was the icing on the cake. The tour guides Ty, Matt(?) and Steve were awesome dudes. They were patient with the slower folks and they let the rest of us rip if we wanted to. I'm so glad they only had the Adventure tour that day because it was a beautiful long ~30 mile run where you basically could take the snowmobiles to the limits if you wanted to! I can't than you guys enough for the experience, highly recommended and would LOVE to be back again.

As far as just Aspen Highlands Mountain, it's a great locals mountain, LOVE Cloud 9 Bistro for…read moredrinks & Champagne popping/spraying lol, skiing in the Highlands Bowl, how it's never crowded, and No lift lines, Ever! It's My Favorite of the 4 mountains in Aspen for sure. ----------------------------------- As far as Aspen as a Whole, everyone knows Aspen is 5-Stars...the town, the restaurants, the nightlife, the people, all 4 mountains. It's all Top Notch, and the best Ski Resort Town in the Americas (both North and South), in my opinion. Even skiers in Europe, South America and Japan know Aspen. Most skiers rate ski resorts on just the mountain (extreme level) and snow. I'm different. I rate ski resorts as an Overall Package...the mountains, snow, amenities (lifts, rentals, food on mountain), apres ski, crowds and what the people are like, nice restaurants, bars/clubs/nightlife, higher-end lodging with outdoor hot tubs, etc. I'll admit, I don't go skiing just to ski, I go for the food and nightlife too, and well, I'd be lying if I said I didn't like to be pampered while I'm at it, lol. Going up and down the mountain to just ski, packing my own lunch, and just having a few beers back at the room while smoking pot is not my thing, as it is with most skiers, especially ski bums, lol. So, given that, for me, the Best Ski Resorts in the World are: 1. Verbier, Switzerland 2. Aspen, Colorado 3. Chamonix, France 4. St. Anton/Lech, Austria 5. Cortina, Italy 6. Zermatt, Switzerland 7. Ischgl, Austria 8. Whistler, Canada 9. Bariloche, Argentina 10. Niseko, Japan And Yes, I've been to almost every major ski resort in the World - 22 West Coast, 17 East Coast, 9 in Europe, 6 in Canada, 4 in South America and 2 in Japan. So, as you can see, I love Aspen! And if there's any place you should ski at least once in your lifetime, it should be here! Just my opinion.

Try to get on the red one as it has Bluetooth capabilities and you can play music all the way up to 16 minutes to the top of the mountain. The ride is smooth even when it's windy.

We had a beautiful tour through still water ranch. With two black brother and sister Mules. This company does a beautiful thing, they rescue horses from the slaughter house They offer private or group sleigh rides. They also do carriage rides in town. We opted for just the 4 of us and boy was it magical. The trail was lined with beautiful trees and snow and mountain homes tucked around us. The ranch is on the back side of aspen mountain and has a stream running through it. We stopped for photos and were able to walk out on a precious little bridge they call "proposal walk" The owner offered us hot chocolate and did a great job telling us about the property. And surrounding homes/area. It was such a beautiful ride! I'll cherish it forever. Men, if you have a girl and you want to make her your wife.... if she likes snow and mountains and horses and streams. Uhhhhh I think this is your spot. You will never find a more magical setting. The owner even shared that he had a ride timed perfect with the New Years fire works on aspen mountain. She thought they were getting out to watch the fireworks from the bridge and he got down on one knee swoon! I mean regardless of whether it's New Years or not it's still a beautiful spot for a proposal. And for us, it was a wonderful relaxing way to start the new year! We loved our hour and a half afternoon ride I'll share some photos now!

*********************** 750 *************************…read more 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. The Ritz-Carlton Club, Aspen Highlands is located 5 minutes from the Aspen-Pitkin County Airport, and they offer the shuttle to pick you up and drop you off. The shuttle also offer pick up and drop off daily from 8:30 AM - 10:30 PM, except special events and holidays, they pick us up even at 2 AM.
