Most think of the skiing and snowboarding in Aspen during the winter, but it is still a paradise even in the summer! Head to the Saturday market, hike beautiful, mountainous trails, and spend time by the Roaring Fork for a jam-packed weekend in Colorado.

A more casual spot to grab a glass of wine and board (of all kinds). My favorite is the rotisserie chicken board!
Go in for a gigantic banana chocolate chip muffin and morning coffee. Try to beat the line by getting in there before the market!
An Aspen favorite, wander market stalls filled with fresh produce, sweet pastries and delights, as well as jewelry!
