Just south of the intersection of Durrant Avenue and Hunter Street is a public pedestrian only plaza. The plaza encompasses the area from Durrant Avenue to a wide staircase that accesses the Aspen Mountain Ski Resort at the Little Nell Gondola. This large compass rose is imbedded into the walking area of the plaza. It was created out of concrete sections and birck pavers of different colors to make up the compass rose design. As you can tell from the picture, the Aspen street system is a little off of center from running straight north-south and east-west.
