Snowmass/Aspen guidebook
Sightseeing
This is one of our favorite hikes, and coincidentally, the closest hike to our home. Walk up the hill and you will reach access points to both North Rim Trail and South Rim Trail. Both are great for hiking and mountain biking. South Rim Trail will take you to Spiral Point (seen in the photo), and North Rim Trail will take you all the way to the Snowmass Rec Center.

One of the best place to see the Aspen trees in Aspen/Snowmass. This is a network of trails for both hiking and biking. Easy enough for kids to do as well.
