Resting in the giant shadow of 12,953-foot Mount Sopris, Carbondale is “where Rocky vistas meet crystal waters.” Sounds inviting, doesn’t it. Between Glenwood Springs and Aspen, Carbondale’s down-to-earth folks will meet you in the middle. The West Elk Loop, a Colorado Scenic Byway, wanders right through town. And there’s plenty do outside here, from biking, to kayaking, to world-class fly-fishing. In winter, excellent cross-country skiing can be found at Spring Gulch and world famous downhill skiing and snowboarding is only 30 miles away in Aspen. Even more skiing can be found at Sunlight Mountain Resort near Glenwood Springs. We even see the occasional cattle drive through town.
The Carbondale Mountain Fair, held each July in Sopris Park, will introduce you to the true flavor of this tight-knit community and its artists, as will the annual celebration of Western heritage - the Potato Days Parade. For a detailed history of the area, head to The Mount Sopris Historical Museum, housed in a century-old, two-story log cabin.
