Between Aspen and Carbondale resides a beautiful, historic mountain town in the Roaring Fork Valley known as Basalt. With both the historic Old Towne neighborhood, as well as the newly developed Willits and West Basalt areas, the city is an ever-growing mountain town that features a variety of price and style offerings for any mountain enthusiast. From golf course communities and ranch properties, to newly built, single-family townhomes and historic Victorians– Basalt prides itself on its quaint community, grounded around the incredible natural beauty in its backyard.
The town is especially known for its fishing and water sports, with the city centered around the confluence of the Roaring Fork River and Frying Pan River, both Gold Medal Waters. In addition, located just outside of town, residents will find the beloved Ruedi Reservoir. As one of the area’s largest bodies of water, “The Ruedi” is popular for boaters, fishers, paddleboarders, and beach lovers, alike.
Alongside the mountain vistas also runs the popular Rio Grande Trail, a paved biking and walking trail that connects Glenwood Springs to Aspen. Residents often love the well-rounded lifestyles that Basalt lends itself to and may be found enjoying the bike paths, hiking trails, and waters, just as often as they may be spotted dining downtown, seeing an outdoor music show, or visiting The Arts Campus at Willits (TACAW), the newest Contemporary Center of the Performing Arts.
