Whole Foods Market
340 Reed StIt's Whole Foods! :)
City Market
250 E Valley RdThe closest and most reasonably priced grocery in town.
It's a small grocery store that's good for grabbing a thing or two. However, it's a bit pricey and has a lot of luxury goods like gluten free, vegetarian, and brand names.

If you love EDM and are not nervous around really interesting people... this is THE spot to dance your tail feathers off all night. Sometimes they charge cover (on busy eventful weekends) but most of the time they don't.
For a more formal setting, Whiskey River or the Rec Room which is less than a block away from each other.

This is THE place for concerts and shows. Their shows range from EDM to Reggae to Rock. Sometimes they charge cover, sometimes they don't. Some nights they allow 18 and older. On their quiet nights, they do have sports showing on their HUGE projector screen.

This has been rated over and over again as one of the top hikes in Colorado. Short but treacherous. The waterfalls are so worth it.

This is a HUGE park with SO much you can do. My favorite part? The dog park. They have a separate area for large and small dogs with a few fun things to play with in there.
Other than that, you can use the soccer fields, running track (1/4 mile per lap), kids playground, picnic area, bmx biking tracks, basketball courts, sand volleyball courts, tennis courts. Plenty of parking and a great place to have a picnic if you want to have an open space to do so. I do my hula hoop practicing here sometimes. :)

It's a manmade lake but it still is revitalizing. You can rent your stand up paddleboards from Shaboomee and head out for a wonderful day out here. They have tent camping areas as well as spots for RVs. There are a few banks you can park and play/bbq around the lake. Have a boat? You can bring it out! Just be sure to check with permits and regulations at http://www.basaltchamber.org/recreation/ruedi-reservoir/.
On full moon nights, I go SUPing for a few hours. It's one of the best experiences of your life.

Great summer running/hiking trail and a winter snowshoe trail. There are different trails with different levels of challenges. You can mountain bike here too.
When you get to the top, oh man! It's beautiful. A panoramic view of Carbondale as well as Mount Sopris in the distance. It's very inspiring.

This is a day long hiking trail if you stay on top of it. Otherwise, you can camp overnight if you like backpacking. This trail has a secret hot springs spot you can dip and relax with beautiful 360 views of the Rocky Mountains.

Getting Around
The RFTA system in the valley is pretty good. It's affordable. The bus stops between Snowmass, Intercept Lot, and Aspen is free. But beyond that, you'll have to pay up. There is a bus stop a mile from the camp but I can't choose it on the drop down list. It's off of Watson Divide and Highway 82. Another one with a park and ride is at Snowmass Creek Rd and Highway 82.
