Fun November Activities in the Aspen Area

As soon as the aspen leaves change color and the temperatures are warm enough to wear a scarf, Coloradoans start celebrating autumn. You can usher in Rocky Mountain fall in grand style by planning a weekend getaway around these festivals.

Fall Fun on the Alpaca Farm
Drive out to the Sopris Alpaca Farm for some FREE fall fun! Hand-feed the alpaca, take pictures, and watch the crias (baby alpacas!) play. Don’t forget to do some early Christmas shopping in their rustic alpaca boutique, loaded with products from their luxurious fiber.
They are open daily from 10–4pm, no appointment necessary. Find the rest of the details here.
Snowmass Opening Day
Oh, the weather outside is DELIGHTFUL!
That’s right, opening day for the 2021/2022 season starts early this year at Snowmass on November 25, 2021, and runs through April 17, 2022! Then, freeskiers and snowboarders can get Thanksgiving started on the right ski by rolling down Snowmass’s unique course of urban-inspired features.
Keep an eye out for all the exciting events Snowmass has to offer throughout the season here.

Basalt Regional Library Grab & Go Activities for Kids and Teens
