John Denver Sanctuary
- 470 Rio Grande Pl, Aspen, CO, 81611
The sanctuary's location near the Roaring Fork River makes it an ideal spot for quiet meditation or a family picnic. The Song Garden features many of the iconic singer's lyrics etched into native river 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. It is an idyllic location and visitors will not wonder for long where "Rocky Mountain High" originated.
