Towns of the Roaring Fork Valley

Glenwood Springs is the gateway to the Roaring Fork Valley. The world famous hot springs are located here, as well as the Glenwood Caverns. There are a good variety of restaurants to choose from, and you've got easy access to all the climbing in Glenwood Canyon, Main Elk, and Rifle.

Carbondale is the mid-valley jewel, and world headquarters to Splitterchoss.com. Need we say more? Ok, how about abundant sunshine, easy access to all the local crags, and a short drive to alpine and backcountry skiing areas. The Narrows, Redstone and Coal Creek are only a short drive up the Crystal River Valley.

Basalt is where all the millionaires who got priced out of Aspen now live. If you've got the cash, this small town is a nice spot to hang out, and you're within striking distance of Lime Park, Hagerman Pass and Indepence Pass.

A little place called Ah-spen. Super exclusive enclave of the rich and famous. Which is too bad, because it's actually a pretty cool little town once you get past all the fluff. (Keep digging, there's got to be a soul around here somewhere!) Aspen boasts world class alpine skiing in the winter, and in the summer there are hundreds of routes to climb on Independence Pass. You're also at the entrance to the Elk Range, one of the most rugged and beautiful ranges in the state.

Redstone is a sleepy little town with a lot of character in the heart of the Crystal River Valley. The ice climbing in Redstone is at your doorstep, as are the Redstone boulders, Coal Creek and the Narrows.

Marble sits in a beautiful valley in the Elk Range, the gateway to endless exploration of rugged peaks and deep valleys. Marble Falls is close by, as are numerous other obscure objectives. Happy exploring!
