Easy walking tour and Dean has lots of history to share. Would recommend highly for first timers to Aspen. From the ski slope to the river, we learned all about Aspen. Great after lunch stroll.

This was "ok". Not hugely interesting or amusing. It is certainly a very easy walk. I wouldn't do it again or recommend it to a friend.
