Fall in Aspen: The weather gets a little crisper, the elk begin to bugle and migrate, and the colors change, blanketing the entire valley in a spectacular yellow gold. With multiple events and outdoor activities to choose from, Aspen is a fall no-brainer.
Travel Like a Local
There are special places and unique vistas around nearly every Colorado corner. You can help ensure these places exist for generations to come by staying on roads and trails, keeping speeds in check, leaving campsites and picnic spots just as you found them, and following instructional signs while you’re out and about in our state.
Getting Around is a Cinch
Aspen's downtown is about six blocks. If you have the time, you can walk from the east end to the west end in about 15 minutes. The WE-Cycle is bike-share program offers the first 30 minutes of every ride for free. Downtowner is a free electric shuttle that offers rides through the app. The Roaring Fork Transit Authority (RFTA) represents an unparalleled community commitment to public transportation in the Roaring Fork Valley. RFTA offers frequent, clean and free transportation to and from the airport, downtown, Woody Creek, the Intercept Lot and Snowmass Village.
