Heaven on Earth
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

12/25/2006 Posted by jamuku2

A terrific place to enjoy an outdoors-person lifestyle. Skiing, boarding, rafting, fishing, walking, biking, concerts, nightlife, wildlife, reindeer, sled dogs. You name it. In the summer, bat a softball at the field near Maroon Creek and the hospital and the ball goes a mile. The locals are salt-of-the-earth and the city feels like a security blanket. It's a recommended alternative to a therapist for whatever ails you. Aspen is a gift from God and a little piece of heaven on earth. Go there once before you die to experience the afterlife, but make sure your credit card has a zero balance. Take a ski or board lesson at Buttermilk if you're a beginner. If more advanced, glide the hidden treasure of Highlands for some solitary steeps. Afterward, go to Johnnie Mac's for a Trucker sandwich with a Yahoo, and you'll see why people from around the world are drawn to this perfect little town.

Pros: Too little space allowed here for all of the pros.

Cons: Save up.
