If you&#39;re looking to take a dip, this spot right outside of Aspen is the place to do it. Glenwood Springs is its own little town filled with more trails, caves, and scenery, but the hot springs is where it shines.&nbsp;

Don&#39;t skip out on these ski slopes! Aspen Mountain is known to be a hot spot for adventurous types, but it&rsquo;s not for beginners. That said, even if you&#39;re not a skier, don&#39;t pass up this spot on your to-do list.

Snowmass is known as another great place to hit the slopes. But in my opinion, the hot air balloons steal the show. You can book a flight of your own, complete with a Champagne brunch afterward.
