Frying Pan/ Roaring Fork Rivers Confluence
The Fryingpan River is a tributary of the Roaring Fork River, joining it near Basalt, half-way between Glenwood Springs and Aspen.
The Fryingpan River is known primarily for its Gold Medal waters that start at Ruedi Reservoir Dam and continue 15 miles all the way to the confluence with the Roaring Fork River in the historic town of Basalt.
Numerous recreational opportunities are available along the Rail-to-Trails converted Rio Grande Trail, which follows the Roaring Fork River.
The Roaring Fork Transportation Authority serves the area and fares are mostly free.
