| After a cool,
snowy and rainy spring it looks like summer may finally be within
reach. We are all super excited for the long warm days ahead and
anticipate a full schedule of fun and enjoyment every day. Plan to
experience Aspen this summer and see why it is such an exciting and
memorable place to spend your vacation.
Rafting trips down our local
rivers have started, biking season is in full force and there are
lots of hiking areas free of snow now. The Saturday Farmers’ Market
starts June 19 in downtown Aspen, Jazz Aspen Snowmass June Festival
begins June 27 and the Aspen Music Festival (www.aspenmusicfestival.com)
and Theatre Aspen (www.theatreaspen.org) start in early July. Aspen
Santa Fe Ballet begins July 16. Many, many events are planned throughout
the summer so visit www.aspenchamber.org for a complete list.
The
kids will have no problems keeping busy at local summer camps, area
parks, Aspen Recreation Center, activities at the top of Aspen Mountain
via the Silver Queen Gondola, bike riding, skateboarding at the Rio
Grande park, playing in Aspen’s famous Hyman Avenue
fountain, getting ice cream downtown, and more.
Afternoon or evenings
are a perfect time to stroll into town for a lively happy hour or
a delicious meal. With so many restaurants to choose from, everyone
will find a place that suits their style and tastes. During the summer
months, outside dining is offered all around the downtown core.
Aspen
is a cultural capital, a dining delight and a nature lover’s
heaven. So why wait? Come and visit us and see why you will want
to come back every summer. With so much to experience, you can never
do it all in one trip.
See you soon! |
