I love John Denver's music and I really wanted to visit the sanctuary. The John Denver Sanctuary is nestled in the heart of Aspen, next to the Rio Grande Park. Its location, near the Roaring Fork River, makes this 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.
It is an idyllic location and it did not take me long to wonder where "Rocky Mountain High" originated. Within the Sanctuary, you will find one of the largest perennial flower gardens open to the public.
