Welcome to Carbondale, Colorado
It’s a gift we can all share
We are pleased to welcome you to Carbondale, Colorado.
Take it all in, take it as it comes, take it one step at a time — just remember — we “Take it easy” in Carbondale.
We’re located at the base of majestic Mt. Sopris, resting in a broad valley defined by the confluence of the Crystal and Roaring Fork Rivers.
Located 170 miles west of Denver and 30 miles from Aspen in the heart of Colorado’s central Rocky Mountains, the picturesque town of Carbondale was first occupied by the Ute Indians, then by silver prospectors, cattle ranchers, and potato farmers. With a strong arts and music community, the town embraces its mining, ranching, skiing, and resort identities, and has also become an attractive place for sustainable businesses.
