Nestled in the Scenic Rocky Mountains near Redstone, Colorado

Avalanche Ranch is located at 6,800 feet in the heart of Colorado's Rocky Mountains along the Crystal River. Across the river a lush valley opens up where Avalanche Creek flows into Crystal, surrounded by forest and wilderness.

You have access to private riverfront with some of the best Colorado fishing and miles of hiking and biking trails. The historic towns of Redstone, Marble, Carbondale, Glenwood Springs and Aspen are nearby offering fine restaurants, cultural events and shopping.

Mt. Sopris towers above at 12,953 feet offering a spectacular picture postcard setting! This expansive view from your cabin will frame an image to cherish for a lifetime. Avalanche Ranch is truly a timeless place offering beauty and peace of an earlier era.

AVALANCHE RANCH IS A VACATION DESTINATION

NATURAL HOT SPRING POOLS: Three Tiered Pools On-Site

Designed around the natural landscape and rock formations of our dramatic Crystal River Valley, we have 3 hot springs pools in a tiered layout. CASCADING FROM ONE POOL TO THE NEXT, each Colorado natural hot spring is situated at a level that provides limited visibility from one to the next. The 3rd, and largest pool, is fed by a 3-foot waterfall forming a warm screen of water in front of a rock grotto.

The three Colorado hot springs pools accommodate 15 to 20 people and plans include year-round availability to cabin guests and some paid public access.
