Back in the 1960s, a secluded “base camp” near Marble became home to the very first Outward Bound courses in America. It’s been a hub of outdoor education for decades, with cabins and facilities nestled into a grove of aspens. And now, it’s entering a new chapter. Anjanette Garcia, of Aspen Valley Land Trust, explains why the conservation nonprofit bought the Marble Base Camp from the Colorado Outward Bound School in 2023 and outlines AVLT’s vision for the future of a treasured property.
