The Aspen Hall of Fame was established in 1986–87 to recognize and honor those individuals who have had a significant and lasting impact on the Aspen/Snowmass communities—economically, physically, spiritually or intellectually. Nominees must have demonstrated inspirational leadership and have made major contributions to cultural, sports, and/or civic activities.--AHOF website

"Connie Harvey, Dottie Fox, along with Joy Caudill (known as the "Maroon Belles") spent nearly four decades advocating creating and defending wilderness in the White River National Forest.
Together, they founded the Aspen Wilderness Workshop, a group formed after the 1964 creation of the Wilderness Act. The three huddled over kitchen tables to map out lands they believed should be kept free of motorized vehicles. They are credited with doubling the size of the Maroon Bells Wilderness Area and securing wilderness protection for the Hunter-Fryingpan, Collegiate Peaks, Raggeds and West Elk wilderness areas."--AHOF bio
