Aspen is one of the America's Prettiest Towns

Aspen, Colorado has been named to AOL.com's list of America's Prettiest Towns.

Here's what they have to say about it:

Originally a silver-mining town, Aspen was transformed into a ski resort in the mid-20th century, and four ski mountains, owned and operated by the Aspen Ski Company, now take center stage.

Greg Melville says, "The Western-style downtown etched into the narrow and breath-stealing Roaring Fork Valley; the aspen-laden mountains rising above it; the atmosphere -- no wonder why the real estate there is so insanely expensive."
