Crystal River (Colorado)
The
Crystal River
is a tributary of the
Roaring Fork River
, approximately 40 mi (64 km) long, in western
Colorado
in the
United States
. It drains a
glacial
valley, called the Valley of the Coal Miners, south of
Carbondale
which was historically known as a center of
coal mining
in southwestern Colorado. It rises in northern
Gunnison County
in the
Elk Mountains
on the north side of
Schofield Pass
, passing through the
ghost town
of
Crystal City
, still inhabited by a few summer residents. It then flows north past
Marble
, then into
Pitkin County
past
Redstone
. It joins the Roaring Fork below Carbondale.
State Highway 133
follows the river along much of its route north of Marble.
