The Roaring Fork

This post is also available in: EnglishFrançaisDeutsch日本語

On the west side of Indenpendence Pass in eastern Pitkin County is the beginnings of the Roaring Fork on it’s 70 mile journey downstream into the Colorado River. Flowing through Aspen, Woody Creek, and Snowmass, the Roaring Fork merges with the Fryingpan River at Basalt. Continuing down the valley, just below Carbondale, the Crystal River flows into the Roaring Fork. At Glenwood Springs, the Roaring Fork merges with the Colorado River.
