• Waterproof • Tear-Resistant • Fishing & River Map The Roaring Fork & Fryingpan Rivers Fishing & River Map Guide is designed to be the perfect companion to anyone recreating on either of these two iconic Colorado rives. The Roaring Fork begins at Independence Pass & passes through the towns of Aspen, Basalt, & Carbondale before finally joining the mighty Colorado at Glenwood Springs. Along the way, it covers 68 river miles & drops 6, 700 feet in elevation & morphs from a small mountain stream into a mighty & powerful waterway known as ” Thunder River” by the local Ute Indians struck by its imposing roar. Numerous recreational opportunities are available from fishing along the Rail-to-Trails converted Rio Grande Trail that follows the river for most of its length to running the class IV rapids just downstream from Aspen. The Fryingpan River is known primarily for its Gold Medal waters that start at Ruedi Reservoir Dam & continue all the way to the confluence of the Roaring Fork in the historic outdoor recreation town of Basalt. This guide covers the Gold Medal Waters of the Fryingpan for 14 miles & ends at Ruedi Reservoir. Each Fishing & River Map Guide
