What’s more rewarding than indulging with a decadent meal and world-class wines after working up an appetite in the Rockies? The Little Nell hotel, which has cemented its five-diamond, five-star status once again as the crown jewel of Aspen 30 years after its opening, has concocted its annual Ride & Dine dinner series for the summer. Travel along the river from the hotel to Mad Dog Ranch in Snowmass with a group of other cyclists to arrive at the most picturesque al fresco dinner spot.

Toast your trip with a bottle of wine selected from the hotel’s 20,000-bottle cellar while you dine under the stars listening to live music. The last dinner of the season will be held on September 15.
