You may not know it, but the Crystal River Valley is home to some iconic historic attractions. The Crystal Mill situated on the Lead King Loop is the most photographed site in Colorado and is accessed by foot or vehicle via a rugged, breath-stopping, 4x4 forest road. Take a drive to Crested Butte over McClure and Kebler Passes through the breathtaking aspen grove that was once the largest living organism in the world. This is a great place for fall hikes full of golden leaves. Fly fish for rainbow, cutthroat, and brown trouts along the Crystal River, anglers available in Redstone and Carbondale. Experience the pure white marble that created columns for the Lincoln Memorial and Tomb of the Unknown Soldier; take a hike to see today’s open pit quarry operations, walk through the Historic Mill Site Park, and not only see the sculptures created today but visit with the carvers as they work.
Your Escape in Western Colorado
Chair Mountain Ranch is located in the Crystal River Valley and is an awe-inspiring glacially carved canyon. Historically, the Ute Indians visited the area as their summer hunting grounds and found healing hot springs along the Crystal River. White settlers moved into the valley in the late 1800s to mine coal and turn it into coke, as well as mine the pure white marble found in Treasure Mountain. Today, the coal mines are closed but the marble quarry continues to operate. The Crystal River Valley continues to remain a place full of adventure.
Step back to a time before cell phones and the internet, these signals are slow and sparse; instead, come connect to people and nature. Whether you find your feet hiking the surrounding steep terrain, enjoying scenic views from the seat of a Jeep, pore-over local art and history with a stroll through town, or just looking to laugh around a campfire, we have your replenishing getaway waiting for you.
Chair Mountain Ranch is located at the base of Chair Mountain, a 13,000 feet rugged mountain that appears on pages 12 and 13 of all U.S. Passports.
