Why it works

Aspen is one of Colorado's premier four-season outdoor recreation destinations, with the Hunter-Fryingpan Wilderness and Independence Pass providing serious backcountry access above the resort town. Independence Pass is one of the highest paved roads in the US and a major access point for high-country hiking. Waterproof construction survives the White River National Forest's afternoon thunderstorms and the variable weather common at Aspen's 8,000-foot elevation.
