ASPEN MOUNTAIN
ASPEN MOUNTAIN TRAIL INFORMATION
AD
SILVER QUEEN GONDOLA RIDES Rising over the heart of downtown Aspen, Aspen Mountain — lovingly referred to locally as Ajax — is the first choice mountain for many summer-time visitors, and not just because of its convenience. From its base next to The Little Nell, you can ride the Silver Queen Gondola 2.5 miles to the 11,212-foot summit of Aspen Mountain. From here, you can see spectacular panoramic views of the Elk Mountain Range, dine at the Sundeck, and enjoy any (or all) of the free on-mountain activities.
