Popular Destinations
Independence Pass, Maroon Bells, the Crystal River valley, Glenwood Canyon, and the trailheads on your list — we help you explore the Roaring Fork and beyond with comfortable private transportation.
Independence Pass
High-alpine Highway 82 over the Continental Divide — wildflower meadows, Weller Lake and Lost Man trailheads, pullouts with Elk Range views, and easy staging for a picnic or short hike without worrying about parking or seasonal closures. We coordinate pickup times around weather and your pace.

The Grottos
A family-friendly stop minutes up Independence Pass — short trails, waterfalls, and the famous ice cave formations in winter. Ideal when you want fresh air and photos without a full backcountry commitment; we drop you at the trail area and return on your schedule.

Maroon Bells & Crater Lake
Colorado’s most photographed peaks and the shuttle reservation logistics handled for you. We align with your Maroon Lake or Crater Lake trail timing, group size, and gear so you spend energy on the trail — not on parking, shuttles, or late-day exits.

Redstone & Marble
Historic coke ovens and castle-like Redstone village, then Marble and the Yule Marble quarry district — one of the prettiest day drives from the Roaring Fork. Perfect for photography, riverside walks along the Crystal River, and lunch in a quiet mountain town before a relaxed ride home.
Plan a Trip
Crystal Mill & upper Crystal River
The iconic Crystal Mill and the upper Crystal River valley (often combined with Marble or a guided jeep day). We get you to the right staging points for your plan — whether you are meeting a tour, walking in from the road, or building a full photo itinerary.
Plan a Trip
Ashcroft Ghost Town & Castle Creek
Paved Castle Creek Road to the restored mining ghost town, wildflower hikes, and access toward the Pine Creek Cookhouse or Cathedral trailheads. A classic half-day or full-day out of Aspen with minimal highway time.
Plan a Trip
Glenwood Springs & Hanging Lake
World’s largest hot springs pool, Iron Mountain Tram, downtown dining, and — with permits — Hanging Lake from Glenwood Canyon. We handle the longer Roaring Fork run so your group can swim, hike, or both and still roll back to Aspen without a tired driver at the wheel.
Plan a Trip
Twin Lakes & Independence Pass loop
Combine the east side of Independence Pass with Colorado’s largest glacial lakes and small-town Leadville for a full high-country loop. Great when you want big-sky scenery, a lakeside stop, and historic Main Street without charting the route yourself.
