Aspen Park Colorado

Aspen Park, Colorado

Aspen Park is the first town with any commerce you reach on the Highway 285 drive through the foothills, southwest of Denver. It consists of a large strip plaza with plenty of businesses.

After driving through Aspen Park, you immediately come to its neighbor Conifer. Therefore it’s sometimes difficult to distinguish between these two towns. The elevation is 8,133 feet and the 2010 population was 882.

Recreation

Camping:

  • Staunton State Park to the west of Conifer offers tent campsite, which require a relatively short hike to reach.
  • Read about camping near Conifer, Pine and Bailey, around Guanella and Kenosha Pass.
