Aspen is a town known for its steep mountains, legendary parties, and truths that often surpass fiction. On this self-guided walking tour, participants will uncover the rebellious spirit and hidden stories behind Aspen’s glamorous exterior, from counterculture movements to celebrity retreats.

This 60-minute tour begins at the historic Old Armory, which once served as Aspen’s City Hall. Participants will explore the former headquarters of Hunter S. Thompson’s audacious campaign for sheriff, where the pioneer of gonzo journalism aimed to disarm the police and rename Aspen “Fat City” to discourage investors. The tour winds through downtown, passing designer boutiques set in Victorian-era buildings, and along serene trails with natural beauty that has attracted both celebrities and free spirits for years.

The tour concludes at the tranquil John Denver Sanctuary, located across the Ron Krajian Bridge and nestled along the banks of the Roaring Fork River, where the cherished singer-songwriter found inspiration for his most famous songs.
