In partnership with Snowmass Tourism, Aspen Center for Environmental Studies (ACES) introduced a variety of educational and fun tours on their Nature Trail. These free, guided treks are led by ACES Naturalists who share knowledge about wildlife and the ecosystem, pointing out snowshoe hare tracks, where elk antlers have been shed and more. I recently joined for a media nature trek and gourmet picnic planned by both hosts, taking a Thursday morning walk in the woods with a delicious lunch awaiting us at the end. I’d recommend adding to this adventure to your calendar this spring. Tours depart daily from the ticket pavilion on the Snowmass Mall at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Learn more online at gosnowmass.com/activity/aces-tours/
