Fall Fun for the Entire Family
Happy October!
As the leaves continue to fall, take advantage of the crisp air and these fun outdoor activities you and your family can enjoy together:
Take a hike. The Thompson Creek Trail is a great trail for all ages and is just seven miles from Main Street in Carbondale! This is a beautiful, short, scenic hike with some unique attractions. Take special note of the fins-slices of rock formations that reach straight up into the sky.
Make the scenic drive down to Redstone. This short 18 mile trip south of Carbondale offers incredible views of Mt. Sopris and the changing colors of autumn. Just before turning into the town of Redstone, stop and learn the history of the Redstone Coke Ovens located on the west shoulder of Highway 133. Once in Redstone take a walk through the quaint town and tour the castle. View our events calendar for more information on the castle tours.
Plan a scavenger hunt with your family on the Rio Grande Trail. A scavenger hunt is a great way to get outside and observe nature at its finest. Encourage the kids to point out items such as different types of pine trees and plants, animals and their habitats, railroad tracks, water running in the river, and items that don't belong in nature. Stop by the Carbondale Chamber of Commerce to pick up a copy of the Rio Grande Trail map.
Carbondale, Colorado. Your base camp awaits.
