Augusta Airport Guide
Aspen is a great year round destination. Despite its peak season being in the depths of winter when America’s rich and famous come to ski, in summer there is still the great outdoors to be enjoyed. Popular destinations are the John Denver Park, created in memory of him where many of the lyrics of his songs are etched into the rocks. It’s a very beautiful and peaceful setting. Take a trip with a guide up to the rock formation called Maroon Bells. The scenery is beautiful and with an experienced guide you can climb to the top. Finally, if you’ve hired a car, in summer you can drive through Independence Pas up to where the Continental Divide passes through Colorado, passing some of the most dramatic scenery in America.
