• Speed Limits: Pay specific attention to speed limits. In Aspen, they generally range from 15-25 mph in the town to 45-75 mph on highways.
• Parking: Aspen uses a paid parking system downtown. Out of town, parking is usually free.

Car Recommendations

Considering Aspen's snowy and mountainous terrain, an SUV or crossover vehicle equipped with snow tires could be an ideal choice to ensure safety and comfort.
