Colorado’s Crystal River Valley is a stunning alpine corridor that sits between towering red rock cliffs and lush forests, stretching from Carbondale to Marble. Known for its crystal-clear river, dramatic scenery, and historic charm, the valley offers a peaceful escape with abundant opportunities for hiking, fishing, and wildlife viewing. Tucked high in the Crystal River Valley, Redstone is a picturesque, historic mountain village often called the “Ruby of the Rockies.” Established in the late 1890s by industrialist John C. Osgood as an enlightened coal-mining company town, it featured architect-designed cottages, a bathhouse, club house, school, and a Tudor-style castle—all part of a utopian vision that remains beautifully preserved as a National Historic District. With just over a hundred residents, it now thrives as a year-round destination for hiking, fly fishing, scenic drives (via the West Elk Loop Byway), arts, events like an old-fashioned Fourth of July, and leisurely escapes at the historic Redstone Inn along the Crystal River.
