Redstone, Colorado

Heading south on Hwy 133 from Carbondale, Co you will find the town of Redstone.  Redstone boasts a population of 79 people, and rests on the Crystal River. At 7500+ feet, you will find gift shops, restaurants and cafes, and lodging.  Be sure to watch for the marble sculptures made by local artisans, carved from marble taken from the marble quarry, just down the road in Marble, Colorado. At the south edge of town you will find the coke ovens, used to harden locally mined coal.  View Redstone's website for more on this, interesting process.
