Aspen’s historic Toklat being renovated into world-class wilderness retreat center

media coverage

Aspen Center for Environmental Studies will preserve core and character of original building

Chris Lane is well aware of the angst felt by many longtime locals over the wholesale changes sweeping the area, so it is with great care and respect that the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies CEO is overseeing the remodel of the historic Toklat Wilderness Lodge.

Contractors broke ground Tuesday on an extensive renovation of the facility in upper Castle Creek Valley. The core of the historic structure, completed by Stuart and Isabel Mace in 1949, will be preserved.
