While the Aspen Highlands lifts are closed during our summer season, there are many trails that are open to the public, and great for hiking. Not for the faint of heart, these trails do offer sightings of some of Colorado’s best views: the twin summits of Maroon Bells and Pyramid Peak.
Summer at Aspen Highlands
With zero crowds and the quiet of summer, Aspen Highlands adventure is up to you. While we do not offer summer mountain operations, Aspen Highlands serves as the launching-off point for public transportation to the picturesque Maroon Bells.
Closed for the 2025 Season
Visit the Maroon Bells
Visiting these picturesque peaks starts at the Maroon Bells Basecamp, located at Aspen Highlands where you can park, purchase bus tickets, and board your bus to begin the journey to Maroon Bells.
