CARBONDALE, COLORADO
carbondale

Touted as one of the “Top 12 Towns” in the “50 Next Great Places to Live and Play” by National Geographic Adventure magazine and as one of the 50 Best Places to Live/Most Active Towns by Men’s Journal magazine, Carbondale is a great base camp for those who appreciate the outdoors!  Resting in the magnificent shadow of 12,953-foot Mt. Sopris, there is plenty to do.  Bike the Rio Grande Trail to Glenwood Springs, Basalt or Aspen.  Mountain bike on the Crown and on Red Hill. Fly-fish in the Gold Medal waters of the Roaring Fork River.  Hike to Mushroom Rock and beyond on Red HIll and take in the views of the Roaring Fork River, Mt. Sopris, Carbondale and Aspen Glen. For a more challenging adventure, hike at the base of Mt. Sopris or up to the very top. Cross-country skiing can be found at Spring Gulch and snowmobile and snowshoe trails are accessible in Marion Gulch.

World famous downhill skiing and snowboarding is 30 miles away in Aspen/Snowmass. Sunlight Mountain in nearby Glenwood Springs also offers downhill and cross country skiing. For a spectacular driving experience, the West Elk Loop, a Colorado Scenic Byway, starts/ends in Carbondale.  The loop travels by the truly unique old west mining towns of Redstone and Marble and over McClure Pass – with stunning views!

Carbondale’s “First Fridays” are not to be missed!  Galleries and shops open their doors; music is playing at Steve’s Guitars and restaurants are in full swing.
