Around Aspen

At last we're here. After a long day of travel we arrived in quaint Aspen. There is a quaint downtown pedestrian mall with mostly high end clothing and jewelry stores. Adjacent to the mall is Rubey Park where the main bus terminal is located. This is where you pick up a bus to the other three mountains in the area. Aspen Mountain is literally right there so just cross the street from the main mall and you can catch the gondola to the top.

The Gant

The Gant is only a few blocks from the main shopping area in Aspen and only about 3 blocks from the City Market grocery store. The Gant is a condo hotel so each room had two bedrooms, two full baths and a full kitchen. Our unit was well decorated and had a TV, VCR and DVD player. Best of all, FREE WiFi internet access is included.
