Colorado

The Aspen area boasts a number of local trails for the day hiker to enjoy - from the trail system of Snowmass Village to the extensive Hunter Valley trails and beyond. Though mostly evoking thoughts of skiing for most, Aspen is a vibrant summer hiking destination as well with many trails, such as the popular Ute Trail - with a downtown trailhead - winding along or near the various ski resorts in the area. Aspen is also the western gateway to the Hunter-Fryingpan Wilderness and Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness - both world-class backpacking destinations.
