Aspen is Colorado’s adventure playground. By winter, crowds flock to the high-altitude town to sail down the slopes, and, when the snow thaws, hikers and bikers take over, exploring the pine-covered hillsides and alpine lakes. Aspen’s historic center, which sprang up during the silver-mining era, is also dotted with some of the best luxury hotels in the state.
