5 Spectacular Things to Do in Aspen That Have Nothing to Do With Skiing

Did I mention you don't have to go skiing to enjoy the extraordinary views of Aspen's mountains? Take a gondola up to the top of Aspen Mountain for a truly unforgettable experience — if you're not afraid of heights. Each small gondola fits four people, and you won't be able to stop staring down below — or above — as you ride for about 15 minutes up to the top of the mountain. In the Summer, the top of Aspen Mountain offers disc golf course, activities for kids, bluegrass concerts, and trails for biking and hiking.
