A tad less expensive than Matsuhisa, which we also recommend. Ask for the green tea martini, created by one of the bartenders ;-) super yummy and for a little pep to get you through the rest of the night on the town.

Sightseeing

If your looking for an easy and quick 30-45 min (to the top) hike fix, check out Smuggler Mountain Trail. It’s a service dirt road that passes by several beautiful large homes as you ascend to the top Observation Deck for a breath taking view of the entire Aspen valley and Aspen (Ajax) Mountain that does not disappoint. This is the second half of the longer “Hunter Creek Trail” loop hike that we also recommend. Smuggler Mountain trail is just an easy and straight forward hike with a spectacular view at the top and then you have the rest of the day to relax and walk the town. Make sure to start early in the summer to beat the busier times and avoid the hot sun ;-)
