Aspen, Colorado: a city named after a deciduous tree; of course it made the list. The Maroon Bells are a popular spot for a view of golden Rockies. For scenic drives, check out Maroon Creek Road, Castle Creek Road, and Independence Pass. For those who’d prefer to get out and walk among the stunning scenery, Cathedral Lake, American Lake, Hunter Creek, and Crater Lake are wonderful suggestions. Can’t make it out to Colorado?
