Pretty, relaxing tranquil. A nice place to visit before and after you hike or bike on the trail. Lots of wildlife too.

Amongst all of everything that Aspen has, here is a tranquil oasis of calm running alongside the Roaring Fork river. It certainly is worth half an hour to wander through the garden, reading the quotations from some of John's best known songs and trying to imagine his inspiration for a fine body of songs.

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.

It's a little difficult to find but worth it. Very peaceful. We like the Denver lyrics carved into the rocks.

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.

Even if you aren't a John Denver fan, the John Denver Sanctuary is definitely worth visiting. It was a very cool experience. We did some exploring of the quotes on the various rocks and took a much needed rest along the banks of the Roaring Fork River.

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.

Wander through the stones inscribed with several of John Denvers most famous songs. Sit on a rock and enjoy the beauty of this sanctuary

So peaceful and well laid out. Perfect place to relax, read, or just chill listening to the wind rustling thru the golden Aspen leaves. Great place for a picnic. BTW, The Grateful Deli (on Main) has really good sandwiches for a reasonable price.

John Denver, one of the best-selling and most popular recording artists and among the most beloved entertainers of his era, loved to sing about his joy of nature and was known for his love of Colorado. In 1974, he was named poet laureate of the state. In 2007, his anthem Rocky Mountain High was adopted as the state song of Colorado. He lived in Aspen from 1972 until his death in 1997. The following year, the John Denver Sanctuary was opened in the heart of the city. Located at 470 Rio Grande Place, next to Rio Grande Park, near the Roaring Fork River, it is a 4.5-acre landscaped retreat featuring lush grass, perennial flowers and engraved rocks honoring John Denver. The city converted a small ditch into an environmental masterpiece, sculpted thousands of cubic yards of earth, found and placed hundreds of boulders, planted groves of native trees, shrubs and wild flowers and created wetlands, streams and waterfalls. It is an ideal spot for family picnics and for meditation, a favorite go-destination for locals and tourists alike. Visitors can learn about the history of the Sanctuary by walking through the Song Garden, which features many of John Denver's lyrics engraved into huge boulders placed in a perfect circle to represent the circle of life as a score of music. At the circle's center, a single Colorado Blue Spruce was planted which symbolizes the spirit of John Denver. It is an idyllic location and visitors won't wonder for long where rocky Mountain High originated.

How to get there from Aspen Airport without a car
m2b
4 مساهمات
There's a free bus that goes into town from the airport. You can ask about it at the info kiosk in the airport lobby. It's great if you don't have too much stuff. Keep in mind there's no place to stow your luggage so you'll have to carry it on and off the bus yourself and sometimes all the seats are taken, which means you'll be standing while juggling your stuff. I'd recommend a cab, which was roughly $25 (not including tip) in Oct 2022.
Good luck!

A member of our party has health issues that prevent a lot of walking. how close can you park to the sanctuary?

You can drop the person off at the side walk (then park in the garage) - it is a field width long to get to the Sanctuary. There are benches to sit on. It is not a large park.
Do you only do tours on thursdays?

There are no tours, the JDS is a park and open space it is free and open to all.
Hi I would like to know if it is possible to have a bench placed in memory of John Denver in the sanctuary for the 20th anniversary in October of John's death? Who would be in charge of this and what would the cost be? Fans of John Denver would like to have this done.
Thank you for your time.

I would suggest contacting Willie Hoevers, who is also making plans for the 20th anniversary of John Denver's death. Willie is also on Facebook. My wife Diane tells me she knows you from Facebook. We live up in Wisconsin.

Hello-
Someone said the park is closed in the winter. Is this correct? We are going early March and would like to visit but only if it's open.
Thank you,

I didn't see any access control so would believe it is open year round. You would miss all the gardens but the stone would still be there.

Yes, it is outdoors along a walking path. Dogs are allowed in the entire area. Please be respectful of the area. Doggie pick-up bags are located at each end of the walkway so please grab one before you enter. The sanctuary has many large rocks with his lyrics etched on them. Smaller rocks are in the area too for sitting. You can also just walk through and spend as much time as you need.
