On final approach into the valley, the right side provides spectacular views of the rugged mountain ridges and the high-altitude landscape surrounding the town of Aspen.
While both sides offer spectacular views of the Colorado Rockies, the right side is generally superior for its views of iconic ski areas like Vail and the dramatic, close-up perspective of the mountains during the steep descent into Aspen.
The left side provides an unparalleled showcase of the American West, featuring the dramatic red rock formations of Utah's National Parks and the iconic, snow-capped Maroon Bells on the final approach into Aspen.
