Our flight was delayed due to snow so I spent some time walking through the sanctuary and was so happy that I did. One of the rare free things to do in a very expensive city and it did not disappoint. Very peaceful and beautiful views were everywhere - especially with the fresh snowfall.

This is amazing. What a tribute to John Denver. I have been a fan since he started, even with the Chad Mitchell Trio. If I lived in Aspen I would come here everyday, with a book or my stitching to just relax and reflect. Aspen was really packed when we were there. Had a difficult time finding a parking place. But as busy as it was, the sanctuary was quiet and peaceful. I think John ( I feel as if I knew him) would be very honored by what Aspen has done to honor him, and his dedication to our earth. His song “Singing Skies” came to mind as we walked through the song garden and the sanctuary. This is a gem. I have to say though, the people we encountered, except a few bikers and a young man with his pup, were rude, and I felt as if they looked down their noses at us. We didn’t try to shop or dine there since it was so busy. What we saw of the of the community was very nice, clean, well kept.

A nice tribute to this famous man, great find in the back part of the town. Excellent location on the Roaring Fork River. Children (and adults) can paddle/splash, cool off in the river contributory.
