THE BEAUTIFUL OUTDOORS
SILVER QUEEN GONDOLA
Silver Queen Gondola is located at the base of Aspen Mountain and it's an amazing way to experience the breathtaking views! There's a restaurant at the top, Sundeck, that serves food and drinks.
MAROON BELLS
The Maroon Bells are a special place, it's where we got engaged! There are a number of trails, ranging from nature walks to more difficult terrain. Entrance into the Bells requires a reservation, we recommend parking at the base of the Highlands and reserving a shuttle pass.
