About Basalt, Colorado

Call this destination of rivers, recreation, and culture 'home.' Just 18 miles down valley from central Aspen, Basalt is a sought-after secret combining three unique communities, Old Town Basalt, El Jebel, and Willits. Together, they exude the quaintness you'd expect from a cozy small-town but offer all of the amenities and cultural conveniences of a modern retreat. The best of everything is all in one place. Basalt is conveniently located mid-valley at the meeting point of the Roaring Fork and Frying Pan rivers, so it's just a short drive to any of the communities along the valley.
