Aspen, Colorado Hiking, Walking, Jogging, Mountain & Rock Climbing

Aspen, surrounded as it is by four incredible mountains, is a hikers paradise. Test your steel at altitude by hiking, climbing, bouldering or just plain walking the many trails and hiking paths around Aspen. You can enjoy planned trips to the tops of 14,000 foot peaks and mountaineering trips on which you'll meet new people and make new friends. Some outfitters also offer guided hut tours, in which Aspen is a stop in a long string of huts. Independence Pass is a favorite stop for intense rock climbers, with pre-discovered routes as well as plenty of space to climb your own uncharted way to the top of the world.

Below you’ll find listings for guides in the wilds outside of Aspen, as well as articles to gather as much information as you’ll need to explore the four mountains by Aspen on foot.
