Enjoy Time Hiking Together
For the outdoor adventurer, a date night in Snowmass should definitely revolve around time spent on the trails together, and the Maroon Lake Scenic Trail is a fantastic place to begin.

Amazing views are yours for the enjoying as you conquer this 1-mile loop hand-in-hand. The pathway sweeps around the lake and provides an unsurpassed vantage point over the water. Couples that enjoy wildlife spotting will want to bring their binoculars as this area is often a hotspot of activity.
Slow Your Roll at the Bowling Alley
Sometimes, a little friendly competition and a relaxed atmosphere are all it takes to make date night memorable. When you and your loved one find your stride in this environment, head over to the Snowmass Lanes & Lounge for a night of bowling and beer! Conveniently located on Daly Lane in Snowmass Village, this bowling alley is proud to hold the title of the highest elevated bowling alley in all of America. While you’re here, you can take your date night beyond the first frame and enjoy time playing pool, trying your hand at foosball, or even competing at the electronic dartboards!
Team Up with Blazing Adventures
When adventure calls your name on date night, but you could use a little guidance along the way to make the most of the experience, teaming up with the professionals at Blazing Adventures is always the way to go. This premier provider of outdoor recreation opportunities is headquartered in the center of Snowmass Village and can help couples set up an amazing rafting tour in the summer, or a snowshoe hike if your date night falls during the winter months. They specialize in custom adventures, so nothing is really out of reach. Pick and choose your fun as you create a one-of-a-kind date night experience you won’t soon forget!
Visit Penny Hot Springs
When you’re looking to enjoy a date night together that focuses more on restoration and relaxation over adrenaline-pumping fun, a trip to the hot springs is well-deserved. While there are plenty of options to choose from in the Snowmass area and surrounding communities, Penny Hot Springs is always a good place to add to the list of must-visit destinations. This naturally-fed mineral water pool is situated between Carbondale and Aspen just along the border of the Crystal River. Thrilling mountain peaks and captivating canyons dot the surrounding terrain, making your time in the hot springs that much more inspiring. Penny Hot Springs is approximately 20 feet across, providing plenty of space for exploring the water. While many people make their way here in the summer and spring, winter is a spectacular time to plan a hot springs date night when you’re looking to contrast the cold with a steam-filled experience.
Order a Romantic Meal
There’s nothing more romantic than a delicious meal enjoyed next to the one you love most. In fact, it’s hard to imagine a date night without a savory moment or two woven into the experience! When you’re looking for a fantastic fare to celebrate your time together, ordering up a meal from The Artisan and enjoying it in the comfort of your vacation rental is the way to go. The Artisan is located within The Stonebridge Inn and provides guests with seasonal, gourmet dining options to delight in. Dinner service is available Thursday through Monday from 5:30 pm until 9:30 pm and guests can enjoy selections that include everything from grilled artichoke hearts and BBQ chicken flatbread to glazed Colorado trout and potato gnocchi. Whatever you order up, don’t forget to pair it with a bottle of wine from this restaurant’s extensive and impressive list.
