ProgramVenue Info

Brainstorm 2006 will take place on the grounds of the Aspen Institute at the Aspen Meadows Resort. Surrounded by the Colorado Rockies and minutes from downtown Aspen, the resort stretches along a 40 acre meadow and is home of the famous Aspen Music Festival. The unique Bauhaus design captures the colors and light from sunrise and sunset and offers a relaxed, casual atmosphere that reflects the open and intimate nature of Brainstorm.

Aspen, CO

Aspen is one of Colorado 's favorite year-round resort areas. It sits at the upper end of the Roaring Fork Valley, with the Roaring Fork River, a superb trout stream, running through town.

Much of the area around Aspen is public land within the White River National Forest . The spectacular Elk Mountains rise to the south and west of Aspen , with the Williams Mountains and the Sawatch Range to the east. These mountains are cut by beautiful alpine valleys. The Maroon Creek, Castle Creek and Hunter Creek Valleys are all easily accessible from town. Much of the high mountain area surrounding Aspen lies within designated wilderness areas in the Maroon Bells-Snowmass, Hunter-Fryingpan, and Collegiate Peaks wildernesses.
