Aspen Colorado Lodging

Lodging is available in Aspen from budget hotels to condominium properties and luxury, four-star hotels and resorts. They normally feature a fireplace, full kitchen, living room areas and outdoor amenities such as pools and hot tubs. The sizes of condos range from larger units to studios.

Spring and fall are great times of year to visit Aspen. During these seasons, considered Aspen's off-seasons, you can find great deals on places to stay. In spring and fall, lodging prices dip down well below that of accommodations in virtually any other popular tourist destination.

Some people might worry that visiting Aspen during its less popular seasons will mean that there is little to nothing to do. Winter is for skiing, summer is for the music. Simply put, Aspen is full of possibilities throughout the whole year. Those who take trips during the off-season find it to be a luxury best kept a secret.

A Couple Offerings of the Off-Season
If you visit Aspen during its off-season, there are a couple of things worth doing. For a simple day trip, you can get sandwiches at Johnny Mcguire's Deli and head over to Heron Park. This park is the perfect place for picnics. Situated next to the river, it holds a small wading pond for the kids as well as a jungle gym.

Another, more adventuresome expedition is to go paragliding. Paragliding is a popular sport locally because Aspen Mountain is the perfect starting point. The views of the town, the valley and Independence Pass are beyond beautiful. For those who fear that they don't know how to paraglide, tandem trips are available, which means that you will be in the front of the paraglider and a guide will be with you controlling the journey through the sky.
