Aspen Park is the first town with any commerce you reach on the Highway 285 drive through the foothills, southwest of Denver. It consists of a large strip plaza with plenty of businesses.
After driving through Aspen Park, you immediately come to its neighbor Conifer. Therefore it’s sometimes difficult to distinguish between these two towns. The elevation is 8,133 feet and the 2010 population was 882.
