Elk Camp Gondola — Attraction in Snowmass Village

Buying a ticket for this ride in the summer also gives you access to the Silver Queen Gondola in downtown Aspen, which is a lot of fun as well.

For summer, perhaps Aspen's Silver Queen Gondola might be a better option. The drive from Colorado Springs to Aspen was 100x more beautiful than riding this...
