 ASPEN MOUNTAIN SHRINES 

Aspen Mountain is home to +/- 84 hidden shrines, each dedicated to various individuals, cultural icons, and themes.

Every ski season I volunteer with Charles Cunniffe of CCA Architects,  a fellow member of the Aspen Mountain Club, to lead tours of the local Aspen Mt Shrines.   I especially love taking friends and clients.    For example, the new-ish Jimmy Buffett Shrine features one of his guitars, with some of his ashes that were scattered.    Sacred ground indeed.      If you would like more info, then please contact me. 

While the exact number of shrines can vary over time due to additions and natural wear, here is a list of known shrines on Aspen Mountain:
