Rocky Mountain High Rock

One of the most popular album covers in the world.. The location where John Denver shot the cover to his Rocky Mountain High Album.

From Aspen go east on Main street to Hwy 82W.

Turn right onto Cemetary Lane. If you get to the round about you have gone too far go all the way around and back towards town.

Cemetary Lane changes to Mc Lain Flat Rd.

Turn left into the parking lot for the Rio Grande trail and Park

There is a porta potty there so if you need to go, go now. there is nothing more on the trail.

Continue on the trail to the right. See how many cairns ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cairn) you can find on the trail and dont forget to make your own.

Eventually you will come to a pond on the right hand side of the trail. Go about half the distance of the pond and then turn around and look at the river... You will know the rock when you see it I promise. If you climb down to the river please be very careful as it can be very wet and slippery. Make sure someone stays up on the trail to take your picture.
