Aspen

View from our condo in Aspen Square

Bob wanted to visit Aspen because, for some reason, we missed it when we were in Colorado two years ago. I was lukewarm, but was eager for a day with only a few hours of driving.

The morning weather didn't look promising, but we were soon on our way from Grand Junction to Aspen in almost full sun. We had a little trouble finding visitor information in Aspen, but the Chamber of Commerce was very helpful and we were shepherded to an interior office for help finding accommodations. We booked a studio at Aspen Square for $149, about $50 lower than I found online when I checked after our arrival.

It was great to be settled for the night shortly after noon! We shopped for lunch at City Market a block away. We were soon settled in our comfy studio apartment and ate on the deck, enjoying the view of the city below and the mountains in the distance.
