R. Malcolm Brown Jr's Images of Aspen, 2002

Hiking on the Famous Aspen Mountain + 11,000 feet above sea level!


The Story
    You take the Gondola rising more than 3000 feet above Aspen, arriving after almost 2.5 miles on this magnificent suspended cable system. The Gondola travels about 9.2 mph (as my GPS has shown!). Up here in the "stratosphere" one gets out of breath when hiking, but oh what hiking!  We usually hike over to a place which is just above timberline, then we have our noontime picnic lunch. What beauty and the vastness of this place will just overwhelm the visitor, for sure! Nature's flower pot is found in one of the phots. See if you can locate this photo and let me know! Take a look at the photos on top of this scene. Also, the magnificent pan photos I made. These are large but I want you to see the potential of the camera system coupled with Quickstitch (unfortunately no longer available). This mountain top is a paradise! By the way, there is a new and very nice restaurant on top. Folks are always so friendly here. You have to put on loads of suntan lotion since at this altitude, the UV is intense. The views are simply stupendous. The hang gliders add to the excitement. Can you imagine that on Saturdays, the Aspen Music Festival holds a "Music on the Mountain" concert. Usually brass players. They must easily get out of breath!! hope you will enjoy these photos. I think Inder Saxena for sharing many of his photos with us. These photos represent three different trips on Aspen Mountain in the summer of 2002. Remember, all photos are copyrighted. Contact me at rmbrown@mail.utexas.edu for permissions.
