Aspen Nightlife – Country & Western Dancing

Believe it or not, there is only one place in  Aspen where you can scoot a boot across the  dance floor to the sounds of George Strait, and  other Country & Western favorites – Shooter’s  Salon. Shooter’s Salon is located on South  Galena Street, and they are open from 6:30pm  to 2am every day, and again, this club has the  distinction of being the only Country & Western  club in the whole town of Aspen, Colorado. Here, cowboy hats, creased jeans, and boots  are the expected attire. During the week, the  music is provided by a DJ, and on weekends  live bands provide the tunes. If you don’t know  how to do the Texas Two-Step, you can learn  how on any Thursday night which is when  Shooter’s offers free Country dance lessons.  Good beer, good music, great dancing, friendly  games of pool or darts – Shooter’s is a place  where all cowboy’s and cowgirl’s will feel right  at home. If you want to...

Aspen Nightlife – Aspen Recreation Center

While the Aspen Recreation Center closes just  before 9pm, there is quite a bit of enjoyment to be  had here after a day on the slopes. If you get there  right after leaving the slopes, and eat a late dinner  – after the center closes – you will have plenty of  time to enjoy what the ARC has to offer. The climbing walls at the center are the biggest  attraction. The ARC features approximately 3100 feet  of climbing walls for your enjoyment. There is also a  3-D climbing tower with more than 25 routes and four  auto belays.  Another nice feature at the Aspen Recreation Center  is the pool area. The James E.

Aspen Nightlife and the Altitude

There is more to do in Aspen than ski! The  Aspen nightlife is like nothing you will  experience elsewhere. The warmth and  camaraderie of all of the skiers, from all of the  different lodges is quite special, and remarkable.  You will have a good time in Aspen, no matter  what you choose to do, but there is one thing  that you should be very aware of before you  start your party – the altitude. Aspen sits about 8000 feet above sea level.  Unless you live in a high altitude area, you will  need to adjust to this altitude. You may find  yourself feeling dizzy or light headed, and you  may even find it a bit difficult to breath. Altitude  Sickness is a serious problem, and if your  symptoms become extreme, you should seek  medical attention. If you will be drinking, you need to know that the  altitude will have a large impact on the way your  body handles the alcohol. Many people who are  not used to...
