Roaring Fork River

I'm talking about some of our, the other rivers, the upper Colorado from like Pump House down to all the way down to Catamount is typically, you know, we call that our upper Colorado.

um then from like catamount down to dot zero and then there's puddings take-ins all along there horse creek pinball yeah down to dot zero and then obviously the fork which you guys are probably familiar with the roaring fork um west bank two rivers carbondale west bank two rivers and then the lower lower colorado from like two rivers down to You know, Dyno, Silt, Newcastle, Rifle, all of those.

Yeah.

Gotcha.

I had this story of just how you were saying that.

This was what, two months ago, early when we had the closures just go into effect.

There's multiple trips going out on the roaring fork.

No, it's the right decision to ensure that Iran, the greatest sponsor of state, uh, terrorism in the world, does not have nuclear weapons, and that the ballistic missile shield that they're u- that they were building to protect those nuclear weapons is not operable.

Hurd is locked in a race with former Aspen City Councilor Duane Romero to represent Colorado's third congressional district, which includes the Roaring Fork and Colorado River valleys.

The Frying Pan is still open and available, the, the Crystal, uh, and then, I mean, you got, like, the Yampa has no water in it, and a bunch of the Freestones are already done 'cause it was a low snowpack year.

Well, before this, I had stopped teaching, and I had taken every writing course I could find.

The Aspen Glen Golf Company is asking Garfield County commissioners to modify a 34-year-old wildlife protection area next to its golf course.

That protection was initially put on about 20 acres along the Roaring Fork River to protect an eagle's nest.

But that nest was destroyed in 2018, prompting the birds to move upstream.

Now, Aspen Glen wants to build 18 homes in the area.

This stuff is actually made in Aspen.

They use water from the Roaring Fork River and Colorado-grown red winter wheat.

The water originates high above Aspen and filters through crystalline rock and into an alkaline aquifer before eventually making its way into the vodka.

It's continuously distilled and then finished through silver filtration.

Over the Fourth of July weekend in 1938, the Billharts family went camping at Colorado's Rocky Mountain National Park.

The family, including four-year-old Alfred Billharts and his older siblings, camped near Estes Park in the Roaring Fork River region.

On July 3, the family walked along the trail to go fishing, with Albert lagging behind.

Around 8 a.m., his parents noticed he was missing.
