Up for an adventure? These are the guys to go to in Aspen. We did a half day of ice climbing; a…read morestrenuous but exhilarating experience. The ice waterfall you climb is about a 20 minute hike into a park. You do need to carry some gear and the fresh snow made the élan a little tough, but the terrain was flat. Our guide then secured the belay line and showed us how to ice climb. My wife and I have no experience and low to moderate athletic abilities (we are not rock climbers). Swinging that ice tool into the ice and starting your climb is a rush, but pace yourself. It is a difficult climb to the top. Highly recommend the experience. Average athletic ability recommended.

Alex and his crew at Aspen Paragliding are outstanding. They know what they are doing, always put…read moresafety first, and treat their customers exceptionally well. This adventure is a "don't miss" Aspen activity. I am a fixed-wing private pilot, ​and Alex allowed me to geek-out about all of the aviation aspects of flying paragliders. My non-pilot wife--who was nervous going into the day--also had a great time. You will enjoy this adventure. Go for it!

I highly recommend Aspen Paragliding. From initial contact with the business owner, Alex, I got a…read moregreat feeling. I was always on board but my cousin was a little nervous. Alex was exceptionally kind and spoke with my cousin several times to review safety protocols and ease his stress. That alone shows how much Alex and the company value the client's experience. What I also respected about Alex was that I inquired about price differences between a different company out of town and Alex spoke very highly of that company; he let me know they were old employees and ensured they also ran a high quality program. I decided to go with Aspen Paragliding for 2 main reasons. First, the launch was at a higher altitude and allowed for longer flight duration. Second, and more important, he was super jovial and stoked on flight! His patience with my cousin's reservations was admirable and he helps foster his employees/pilots to meet the customer where they are at and tailor the flight to each individuals desires/wishes (e.g., a more mellow flight or a flight with some fun turns, etc.) Side note, my cousin decided to join and had a phenomenal experience. If you're wanting a life changing experience with the best Birds Eye view of the valley, take the leap and sign up!

Love Love this reservoir!…read more Snuck away in-between a music fest in Aspen for the day and dropped our SUP's in Ruedi Reservoir. It was such a delight to see this beautiful reservoir on the western slope of the Continental Divide on the Fryingpan River...yep Fryingpan River...lol! This reservoir is da place for not only boating, sailing, biking, hiking, kayaking, SUPing and camping...it's also well known for it's Gold Medal fishery! If you're lucky you might catch some rainbow trout, brown trout or mackinaw trout. Heck, any trout will do! Campers listen up! They've got 4 campgrounds that accommodate 81 campsites and for all you boating enthusiasts, they've got two boat-launching ramps. We watched as boats lined up and it looked like a pretty smooth operation. All in all we can't complain...it was an absolutely beautiful day and we loved all the cool rock formations and little alcoves along the shoreline. This SUPaholic will be back for sure!

Amazing experience!!…read more We booked the white water rafting tour. Our tour guide was highly experienced and led the group very well. We had so much fun and felt very safe with our tour guide. I wish I remembered her name, but she stated that she had worked for Blazing for decades. Her husband was the second drive on the tour and he was also great. Both very knowledgeable and made the experience unforgettable. If you are in Aspen, book a tour with Blazing Adventures!

She followed up with us on a few questions we had and was in communication throughout about water levels and our safety. I also spoke with Adam, who was also very nice and helpful. For our rafting trip, Mitch, our guide, and John, our driver, were beyond amazing from the very beginning. Our safety (and COVID-19 protocols) were the number one priority for the duration of our trip. Mitch was so fun and knowledgeable about the local geography, geology, lore, and wildlife. He was wonderful with our curious and adventurous six-year-old son! John was super! He wanted to make sure we were all comfortable and taken care of the whole trip. I would recommend this trip company for anyone looking for adventure in the area!

The John Denver Sanctuary and the surrounding Park area are must for a 1st time visitor to Aspen…read morewhether you are a fan of John or not. if you are a fan, many of his songs are enshrined on large stones. (See my photos.) It is such a beautiful, soothing, relaxing area, with trails, and running brooks, and streams. Great place to meditate. Locals also walk their dogs and hike/run through this area daily. It just takes an hour to explore and is a break from the business district a few blocks away. We parked in front of the stores in the business area and walked it over. Make sure to put enough money in the meter--Aspen is agressive on issuing parking tickets. There are other trails that connect to here you can hike of you have more time than we did. Check it out!

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay!…read more One of the things I love most about most ski resorts, is that they turn into summer playgrounds full of so many outdoor activities! Enter Crested Butte, where they're down (or rather "up" in this case) for ziplining summer or winter! High above the ski slopes you can enjoy ziplining from 5 stations...each offering a fun and exhilarating experience. With its towering platforms, wooden bridges and lines running from 120 to 400 feet in length...how can you not have fun?!!! Plus, our tour guides rocked! They were knowledgeable, professional and overall super cool dudes! Tours start at $63 and last about 1-1/2 - 2 hours. So what are you waiting for? Be happy outside!
