This tour was awesome - Dean is the best tour guide ever! The DarkSide tour was so good that we came back the next day for the Off the Beaten... read more Path Tour - which he set up for us privately even though it wasn’t scheduled. Make time for at least one tour next time you’re in Aspen!

Fun way to learn about the secrets of Aspen - There is a lot to learn about Aspen. Fun to hear about the death that has shaped Aspen. People that have been hunting the people for decades.

Masterful storytelling of the people and place - An easy 1.5 hour walk through varied terrain: along neighborhood sidewalks, through town parks/centers and in nature areas. Dean masterfully told multiple stories at once: the history of the town... read more (from the Ute people to silver miners, hippies and today), contemporary development and how town policies support the arts, nature and full-time year-round worker residents. It gave me a fuller appreciation of Aspen and was a great way to start my weeklong stay.

We attended Dean's "Historic Aspen Past to Present" & I really recommend it. The tour lasted one hour and 20 minutes with easy walking and a lot of information.... read more Dean speaks clearly and he was easy to hear and understand as I am hard if hearing even with hearing aids. After your tour, be sure to visit the John Denver Sanctuary.
