    Two hours of outdoor exploration in Aspen — follow clues to uncover local art, history, and culture while competing for points with teams in other cities.

    We were unfamiliar with this activity before making our reservation, but it turned out to be a fantastic decision! Our host was friendly and involved, providing an excellent way to explore the city. The activities were enjoyable and straightforward, with minimal walking, which suited our family perfectly. They also offered longer alternatives if desired. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience, and we definitely plan to try this again. I highly recommend it to everyone.Pioneer03629407966
