We chilled here for an hour or so after a big bike ride. The setting is beautiful beyond belief. Set on the banks of the Roaring Fork River with strategically placed giant boulders engraved with some of John Denver's most famous song engraved. The backdrop is the rooftops of the West End over shadowed by the mountains. A lot of... More

The peace and quite.The rambling river and the great homes along the river. Great area to walk a dog.

If you are looking for a really peaceful place in downtown Aspen, head over to The John Denver Sanctuary. It is so peaceful and some of his songs are carved into the stones. If you have a dog there is a good place for him to swim.

September 2013 will find two of Aspen's residents saying their "I do" to each other in the John Denver Sanctuary. Now that's a great review!

Even in winter, on a sunny day, the sanctuary was a pleasant stroll and a walk down memory lane as we read and sang (well--I said it was singing but my husband might disagree) the lyrics etched into the rocks, from ever popular John Denver tunes; Rocky Mountain High, Perhaps Love, Sunshine On My Shoulders.

Do drop in even though if you are not a fan of John Denver. This place is just beautiful to walk around and reflect.

It was a sunday when we went on a regular picnic and found a lot more than what we expected. Rocks , pebbles, crystal water and what not! It has been a delight. Serene and secluded you feel in the lap of mother nature its a #1 retreat.

With Aspen Mountain in the background and the rocks and water, this is a great place to do a family photo. Summer time is the best, there are flowers everywhere

I liked that the songs were engraved in rocks,and the running water all around ,the flowers are beautiful.I would have liked John Denver's music playing would have been perfect.
