John Denver Sanctuary is a scenic open space and park that is open to the public for free from dawn to dusk. It is located next to the Roaring Fork River in the heart of Aspen. Within the sanctuary is the largest perennial flower garden around, which attracts visitors from around the globe. Amidst the gardens you will find an environmentally sound wetlands filter system. Artistically placed engraved landscape rocks add to the overall ambiance and story behind the sanctuary. This location is also the home to Theater Aspen in the summer, providing live stage entertainment to hundreds.
There is no public parking at the sanctuary so we recommend that you utilize the nearby parking garage which charges $1.50 per hour.
This highly desirable venue located in the heart of downtown Aspen next to the Roaring Fork River. This park is not available for private reservations online.
There is no fencing around the area and no tickets are required for entry to the Sanctuary and surrounding trails.
