Aspen

Tucked into the Roaring Fork Valley beneath Colorado’s Elk Mountains, Aspen is a place whose character is shaped by high-altitude terrain and winter snow. The Roaring Fork River runs through the city, while Aspen Mountain rises directly above its core; the wider area is associated with four ski mountains. Aspen developed rapidly during Colorado’s silver-mining boom of the 1880s, and the 1889 Wheeler Opera House remains a downtown landmark. Its compact centre combines Victorian-era streetscapes with restaurants, galleries and access to trails in the surrounding White River National Forest.
