What makes a good sunset in Aspen?
Aspen sits deep in the Elk Mountains, surrounded by peaks that catch light from multiple directions at golden hour. Fall is the standout season: the aspen groves turn gold in late September and early October, and warm evening light on yellow leaves against a blue sky is one of Colorado's most iconic shots. Maroon Bells, just outside town, is one of the most photographed mountain scenes in North America — check the score before making the drive up.
What time is sunset in Aspen tonight?
Aspen sunset ranges from around 4:40 PM in December to 8:25 PM in June, though surrounding peaks mean direct valley light fades earlier. Tonight's exact time is shown in the score card above, updated daily from live weather data.
