ASPEN MOUNTAIN TRAIL INFORMATION
SILVER QUEEN GONDOLA RIDES Rising above the heart of downtown Aspen, Aspen Mountain — lovingly referred to locally as Ajax — is the first choice mountain for many summertime visitors, and not just because of its convenience. From its base next to The Little Nell, you can ride the Silver Queen Gondola 2.5 miles to the 11,212-foot summit of Aspen Mountain. From here, you can see spectacular panoramic views of the Elk Mountain Range, dine at the Sundeck, and enjoy any (or all) of the free on-mountain activities.

Have your photo taken by a professional mountain photographer with the Rocky Mountains as your backdrop. SharpShooter Imaging is available at the top of the Silver Queen Gondola from 10 am to 3 pm.
Silver Queen Gondola is the only lift on Aspen Mountain that operates and services trails in the summer.
We do not recommend hiking down Aspen Mountain – there are no easy routes down and every trail is steep and long.
If you hike up Aspen Mountain, you can ride the Silver Queen Gondola down for free.
