Awesome Tour! - My husband and I did a tour in Aspen Co. with Dean . The tour was called Off the Beaten Path Tour. It was awesome! Dean told us about the history of Aspen and different Architecture looks in Aspen . Just a couple blocks off Main Street we walked dish to Hallam Lake and then walked along Roaring Fork River. Dean was extremely knowledgeable about the area and answered all are questions. We then walked over to John Denver Sanctuary. Wow that was fabulous. This was an excellent tour. So insightful. Highly recommend it.
