The world on the whole loves summer and loves summer vacations even more, but it often seems like we wait forever for our annual getaway to arrive, and then, before we even have the chance to take a deep breath, it is over, and real life returns with a vengeance. Because these moments are so special and because you have chosen Timberline Condominiums for your Snowmass, Colorado late summer vacation, we want to make it easier for you to enjoy a vacation you will never forget. This guide to late summer activities in Snowmass that are worth booking now, even though you still have a couple of months until you arrive, is how we are going to do it!
Late Summer Activities in Snowmass, CO
The JAS Labor Day Experience is a three-day music festival that celebrates the end of summer in the best of ways. Held in Snowmass Town Park and offering the top musicians of many musical genres, this year’s headliners include Imagine Dragons, Luke Combs, and—ladies, you are about to understand why this is the year you want to purchase VIP tickets— Lenny Kravitz. Gold seating and SRO tickets have already sold out, leaving Silver, National Council patio, upper deck, and box seating all that remains, and with this year’s magical performers, we expect those to sell out as well! Food, beverage, and arts & crafts vendors will be on hand to ensure that the nights you spend at this experience will be ones you never forget, and purchasers of VIP tickets will receive extras in the form of food and open bars.
Guided Hiking Trips with Blazing Adventures, 1 Village Mall in Snowmass
In Snowmass we may seem to prefer winter over summer, but the truth of the matter is we eke every bit of excitement out of summer as we possibly can, because we know that even though the slopes open and our town will vibrate with the buzz of people having fun in winter, it will be cold. And with this being said, by summer’s end, we who live here and visitors from all over the world are signing up in droves for adventures that include the guided hiking trips offered by Blazing Adventures. Offering a variety of hikes through all the most beautiful landscapes, the one that excites us the most is the Maroon Bells Hike. The Maroon Bells are known as the most photographed peaks in North America, and if you don’t schedule some time during your vacation to experience them in one way or the other, you may feel as if you missed out on something wonderful. This hike is an expensive one and can be modified to match your skill levels as it is also a private tour, but at the end of your adventure we can assure you that you will never regret signing up for this guided hike.
Snowmass Wine Festival, September 12 & 13
Remember, the first day of fall, even if it is already starting to get chilly in Snowmass, isn’t until the 3rd week in September, so the Snowmass Wine Festival falls neatly into the category of late summer activities. Offering a variety of special events held in multiple venues over its two days, guests will do more than sip new wines, they will be educated on new varietals, on delicious pairings, and hang out with other wine enthusiasts as live music plays and the sun shines down on this adventure. The event kicks off with a Greek Wine Dinner (drink the retsina, your palate will thank you!) and ends with the Grand Tasting, which features local restaurants and 50 Vinters and Craft Distillers, so even if you aren’t a wine person, you can still sip and savor during this wonderful event. Tickets are on sale now and as there is a limited number available, we urge you to buy yours today if this sounds like an event you would love.
Guided Fly Fishing Trip with Wild Willow Outfitters, 330 E Main Street in Aspen
Fly fishing is big in Colorado and the guided fly fishing trip offered by Wild Willow Outfitters will certainly bring you joy. Their knowledgeable guides take visitors to the spots where the rainbow and brown trout bite most often, helping those who aren’t accustomed to fly fishing feel comfortable in this new milieu and providing the necessities (rod, reel, water, and wet and dry storage.) You will need to purchase a fishing license and bring your own snacks in case you get hungry during this four-hour adventure. These fly fishing trips sell out quickly, so book your adventure today!
