Aspen Walking & Ghost Tours with Dean's Aspen Tours

Aspen, Colorado — a rugged mountain town layered with decades of mining history, arts culture, and alpine scenery — offers more than just slopes for skiers and sprawling wilderness for hikers. Dean's Aspen Tours brings this unique mountain community to life through engaging guided hikes, bike rides, and haunting ghost walks. From the shadowed streets of Aspen’s historic core to offbeat paths revealing local histories, Dean’s tours deliver a distinctive blend of outdoor activity and storytelling.

Whether meandering along Hunter Creek on a Leisure Hike or cycling the Rio Grande corridor, the tours uncover Aspen’s transformation from a mining boomtown to a vibrant cultural hotspot. Dean’s off-the-beaten-path adventures reveal quieter trails that mainstream visitors rarely see. Hikers gain a fresh perspective on the rugged terrain intertwined with Aspen’s social and environmental evolution, while bikers ride scenic stretches framed by towering aspens, dramatic ridgelines, and the gentle flow of the Rio Grande River.

The DarkSide Ghost Tour and Cemetery Tour stand out for visitors seeking intrigue after sundown. Crafted with authentic local tales and Dean’s sharp storytelling, these bone-chilling evening walks weave history and legend into the town’s streets and burial grounds. This isn’t just spooky entertainment — it’s an immersive dive into Aspen’s darker decades, from mining tragedies to Prohibition-era secrets.

Dean’s knowledge and passion shine through every tour, drawing visitors into a living narrative of places where natural beauty meets cultural heritage. Small groups and thoughtfully paced itineraries make these tours ideal for all ages, though some ghost tours might be intense for very young children.
