Spirit, also known as the Statue to John Denver, is a noted bronze statue located outside the Colorado Music Hall of Fame, created in 2002 by American sculptor Sue DiCicco. The statue, which was created at Berkeley's Artworks Foundry, stands 143 inches tall and weighs an estimated 1,300 pounds, depicting the famed singer-songwriter in a pose with an American bald eagle. It was originally commissioned by the Windstar Foundation nonprofit environmental organization, which was founded by the singer-songwriter in the early 1970s. Between 2002 and 2013, the statue was on display at Windstar's main facility in nearby Snowmass. After the foundation's dissolving in 2013, the statue was transferred to the Colorado Music Hall of Fame in 2015 and can be viewed for free by all Red Rocks Park visitors.
