Dean is a great guide who showed us parts of Aspen we wouldn't have seen if not for his tour. A delightful 90 minutes and highlight of our trip.

Enjoyed walking through the old part of the city, hearing about the history of people who built the city and their work. An interesting part of the town's history is in the decisions made for preserving nature and the environment, as well as providing for (somewhat) affordable housing for people who work in Aspen. The tour included peaceful scenic walks through the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies, the Hallam Lake Nature Preserve and the John Denver Sanctuary. Everything about Aspen is pretty wonderful, but what is so special about Dean's tours -- Dean is a very knowledgeable person who clearly loves sharing his knowledge. He makes the history interesting. Important to mention during this time period -- They require individuals wear their masks and it is easy to maintain social distancing when you're walking outdoors.
