Tourist guide Aspen

Aspen is located in Pitkin County, Colorado in USA. This city has a very small population of around 6,000 and an area of approximately 9 sq km. The city lies on the Rocky Mountains and is dissected by many rivers. Ute Indians were the first to discover the place; they named it ‘Shining Mountains’. It was incorporated as a city in 1881.

Summers in Aspen are generally warm and dry and seldom does the temperature rises beyond 32°C. Winters are cooler and the temperature does not fall below –6°C. The terrain of this city has huge open spaces, high mountain peaks, greenery, lakes, valleys, springs and so forth.

The economy of Aspen is largely dependent on its tourism industry and the service sector. Earlier, however, the city had countless silver mines but they were all banned later on giving way to other means of earning.
