Celebrate Halloween in Snowmass

While some holidays revolve around a collection of set traditions, Halloween tends to be one where participants are encouraged to let their imaginations run wild! From the candy and costumes to the other-worldly tales spun this time of year, Halloween has a way of giving us a reason to enjoy things to an extreme. When your idea of extreme fun happens to include great music, dancing, and savory menu options to match, you’re in luck when you’re spending the holiday in Snowmass. On Friday, October 28th the Late Night with DJ B2 event will be in full swing at Big Hoss Grill. This inviting and vibrant eatery is found at 45 Village Square and is typically open to the dining public Thursday through Tuesday from 8:00 am until 9:00 pm. However, on this select Friday, the restaurant turns into a live DJ booth starting at 9:00 pm and the fun continues until close depending on how much fun the crowd is having. There’s no cover to attend—just be sure to bring your dancing feet and excitement for entertainment along with you.  

Enjoy Grabbing a Holiday Bite at Sundae-Snowmass

It’s fair to say that Halloween is a holiday that offers up a free pass on the sweets and candy front. While those with little ones typically end up with buckets of candy on their kitchen table after trick-or-treating adventures, there are also plenty of goodies in stores that serve adult audiences too. When you’re heading to Snowmass this Halloween and you’re looking for a place where you can treat your tastebuds in holiday style, Sundae-Snowmass is it! Found at 60 Carriage Way unit 3120-B, Sundae-Snowmass serves up tantalizing treats in cones and cups Sunday, Monday, and Thursday from 1:00 pm until 9:00 pm as well as Fridays and Saturdays until 10:00 pm. This locale is loved for its selection of small-batch artisan ice cream selections. With every stop, guests will find the menu brimming over with bold new flavors and some traditional favorites too! From signature sundaes and homemade waffle cones to custom ice cream cakes, ice cream sandwiches, and signature shakes, there’s truly something for everyone with a sweet tooth to satisfy here! Seasonal sundaes as well as the flavor of the month options ensure that your visit will have a few unique selections to choose from. Don’t be surprised if your cone or cup can be filled with Halloween-inspired flavors and colors when you drop by this time of year! 

Take a Halloween Hike or Two

While Halloween time in Snowmass often comes with chillier temperatures and even a chance for some flurries, there’s no reason not to hit the hiking trails if lacing up your boots and exploring is your passion. One of the most notorious areas to hike is the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness area which sits just beyond the parameters of Aspen. Here, hikers can find a wide variety of trails that wind their way around the Maroon Bellows and offer up access to places like Crater Lake and Maroon Lake alike. Aspen forests often hug these routes on both sides and this time of year, the lighting can be particularly appealing for those who happen to enjoy nature photography too. Hikers looking for a moderately difficult trek to try out will want to add Smuggler Loop to their itinerary. More experienced hikers might find a trek along Government Trail to be endlessly intriguing. That said, no matter what path you choose this Halloween, you’ll be treated to beautiful scenery and opportunities to spot wildlife. It’s sure to be inspiring every step of the way.

However, if you happen to be a music lover and a fan of folk, jazz, blues, country, pop, rock, and beyond, a visit this direction this time of year has even more for you to enjoy! The Jazz Aspen Snowmass Labor Day Experience returns in full force in 2022 much to the delight of locals and visitors alike. This music-focused experience runs from September 2nd through September 4th and is an iconic community event you simply won’t want to miss out on while you’re here. The Jazz Aspen Snowmass Labor Day Experience is a 3-day music festival featuring a thrilling lineup of artists performing in an open-air setting with the mountains acting as a beautiful backdrop to the fun. Jazz Aspen Snowmass Labor Day Experience is hosted at the Snowmass Town Park which sits at 7,914 feet in elevation and can accommodate up to 3,000 guests at a time. While the music is sure to please, the view is just as delightful from this vantage point. Snowmass Town Park offers up exciting 360-degree views and provides seamless access to Snowmass Village.

Take Time to Hike Your Way Through the Holiday

Labor Day 2022 in Snowmass should bring with it refreshingly mild temperatures. This makes it the ideal time of year for visitors to hit the hiking trails before fresh powder falls. If you’re a traveler with a heart for outdoor adventure and a longing to hike up the boots and explore new pathways, Snowmass has plenty of options to discover. Summit Trail is a great place to start, offering hikers access to just under 2-miles of the trail to follow that starts at the top of Elk Camp. Take the gondola to get to the trailhead or consider hiking from Base Village up the Vista Trail instead. The peak of Summit Trail provides hikers with a tantalizing view of the Maroon Bells in the valley below—something well worth having your camera on hand for.  

The Crater Lake Trails is another inspiring option for those hikers looking for a bit more of a challenge during their Labor Day visit. This route is 3.45-miles in length and runs through the base of both the South and North Maroon Peak. This is a legendary scene that has many hikers returning to the trail with each visit to Snowmass. But the scenery doesn’t stop there. The Crater Lake Trail also takes hikers to the Maroon Bells Visitor Center, the Four Pass Loop, and of course, Crater Lake too!

When it comes to exploring the great outdoors, there is no better place to visit than Snowmass. This Colorado destination is typically known for exhilarating skiing conditions making for some of the best treks down the slopes. Snowmass also has an abundance of natural attractions that are simply a delight to see in person. Here are some of our favorite natural Snowmass attractions:

Maroon Bells

We highly recommend you bring your camera (or simply your phone nowadays) when visiting Snowmass and its many natural attractions. One of the most photographed attractions in the country is right here in Snowmass, the Maroon Bells. This natural attraction is the combination of Maroon Peak and North Maroon Peak, which make up the Elk Mountains found just outside of town. The scenery these two peaks provide is simply unreal. These mountains get their maroon color from the mudstone that hardened into the rock now found here. In fact, it took millions of years for this mudstone to appear the way it is now. Your typical terrain surrounds the Maroon Bells, but the drive up features a beautiful display of wildflowers.

Over the years the popularity of Maroon Bells has ballooned; we currently receive over 300,000 visitors to the Maroon Bells each summer. Outdoor adventurers can also enjoy the many trails that surround the area. Only experienced hikers are recommended, as many of the trails are steep and difficult. Do not pass up on visiting this highly popular natural attraction found just outside Snowmass!

Maroon Lake

Nestled in between the Maroon Bells is the natural beauty of Maroon Lake. This incredible lake is the end result of water building in the area for millions of years, leaving behind this crystal blue lake. Maroon Lake is classified as an alpine lake due to the water forming from snowmelt. The water is so clear that a mirror image of the Maroon Bells can be seen when visiting. The local pine trees and other flora will change color with the seasons, giving you a different view each time you visit. We highly recommend visiting this area during the autumn season as the golden hue of the leaves will reflect off the water.

There are plenty of hiking trails surrounding the lake. Maroon Lake Scenic Trail takes you on a mile-long trek around the lake that is easy to traverse. For a longer trail, check out Maroon Creek Trail, which is 3.2 miles in length. Rocky slopes and aspen forests can be seen all around you. These trails are a great way to observe the local wildlife that frequents the lake. Local wildlife includes red foxes, mule deer, bighorn sheep, porcupines, and a multitude of local birds. Between the twin peaks and lake, a visit to the Maroon Bells area is a must during your stay in Snowmass.

Independence Pass

If you book a rental car during your stay in Snowmass, you will have access to the many incredible attractions found just outside the city limits. Independence Pass is one such place that actually encompasses several natural attractions for incredible sightseeing. Independence Pass is a part of the Rockies Colorado Scenic Byway and the Continental Divide. The windy roads will lead you to popular sights including the Grottos Ice Caves and Devil’s Punch Bowl.

The Grottos Ice Caves are exactly as they sound: a connection of long caverns that feature frozen pools of water. When traveling down Independence Pass, you will find a marked area for the Grottos Day Use Area. Visitors will see how millions of years of water have shaped these incredible caverns. Hikers can explore them too; just be careful during the winter. The Devil’s Punch Bowl is the complete opposite of the Grottos Ice Caves. Instead, you will find it to be a beautiful natural swimming hole that is best enjoyed during the summer. The Devil’s Punch Bowl can also be accessed from Grottos Day Use Area around mile marker 51. Expect a 20-foot plunge when jumping from the side of the “bowl” that all cliff jumpers will enjoy. The area is surrounded by large boulders and local flora such as pine trees and more. Please exercise caution when choosing to jump into the Devil’s Punch Bowl.
