Summer, my favorite season!   If you are not familiar with this site,  each week I take a look at events and happenings in The Valley and choose three things that look adventurous from Aspen down to Glenwood Springs.  Here are my picks of the week:  Snowmass Yoga on the Mountain, Basalt, Concert Series Featuring Caleb Dean Band, and the Ducky Derby in Aspen. 

Snowmass: Yoga On The Mountain @ Snowmass | August 11-13
Yoga is returning to Snowmass Village!   Welcome Yoga On The Mountain, presented by Power Yoga Retreats.   Hosted by Snowmass, this three day yoga festival boasts a grass roots yoga experience featuring over 40 innovative classes from 20 amazing teachers under the blue skies of the Colorado Rockies.

In its inaugural debut, the weekend is jam-packed with music, meditation, discussion, presentations, hikes, parties, adventure, new friends, and outdoor yoga classes.   Vendors are also on site offering unique yoga items for sale.

The event kicks-off on Thursday, August 10 with Sundy Best - Snowmass’ Free Concert at Fanny Hill.  Friday is full of activities starting at 9:00 am with PYR Mountain Jam and classes and speakers throughout the day.   See the entire schedule here

There are also classes for kids - so check out the schedule for children’s classes and workshops.    Don’t want to commit to the entire weekend?  You can choose from a weekend pass or even a day pass to get your yoga practice in.  Pricing is below:
  • $249 Weekend Pass
  • $99    Day Pass (Saturday)
  • $39    Kid's Day Pass
  • $29    Class Pass

Basalt: Summer Concert Series @ Lions Park Featuring the Caleb Dean Band |  6-8 PM
You don’t want to miss this one!   Caleb Dean, a Glenwood Springs local, and his band will rock the night away with their lively music.  The Caleb Dean Band plays country dance music the way it's meant to be played - with electric and acoustic guitar, fiddle, pedal steel, bass, and drums.   Get your cowboy boots out, bring your blankys, pack some snacks and have a fantastic time two-steppin.     Remember that the concert series moved to Basalt Lions Park.  


Aspen: Ducky Derby @ Rio Grande Park |  August 12, 2017 @ 10:30 AM - 4 PM - DUCK DROP @ 2:17 PM
Head on over to Rio Grande Park for the Aspen rotary club’s annual ducky derby.  This day-long event includes youth games, vendor booths, silent auction, music and more.   The schedule is below - duck drop is at 2:17 PM.  Grand Prize $10,000 or a Special Lucky Duck Worth a million dollars, plus more prizes!   You could be a winner but you can’t win if you don’t play.

    I wanted to ensure that other visitors to the valley could have one resource that has it all – dining, announcements, seasonal activities, cultural, entertainment, and more.  So I founded Around Aspen to help everyone find a great time in the Valley.
