In the heart of the Rocky Mountains, Redstone sits 7,200 feet above sea level in the White River National Forest. As of the 2010 Census, the population of Redstone was 130. The city of Carbondale, Colorado (twenty minutes from Redstone) is your last chance for cell service, full service grocery stores, gas, and other creature comforts. We encourage you to take a screenshot of the map on your phone, or grab an actual old school map, before traveling south of Carbondale to Redstone! MAKE sure to drink ALOT of water in preparation for the elevation (you can also buy a supplement called acclimate that helps a ton with altitude sickness)
The town of Redstone consists of one main street, lined with a restaurant, a general store, and several art galleries. The general store sells limited dry and frozen food, ice cream, beer, wine, liquor, and travel items (it's pricey though!). The nearest grocery store is 20 minutes away in Carbondale, so be sure to stock up on anything you may need beforehand. The Redstone Inn does serve breakfast, lunch and dinner to guest and non-guests of the hotel. Note: there is NO CELL SERVICE in the town of Redstone, so please come prepared to unplug. The Redstone Inn does have wireless internet...don't panic! :)
Dress up but dress in layers! It's Colorado, it could be 85 deg, it could be 35 deg, be prepared with a light rain coat or sweater, August is known for late afternoon thunderstorms but should be fairly warm (HOT during the day if you're not in the shade) most of the time. night time does cool off! We want you to feel comfortable, so if those shoes are too high or that top button is too tight, let it all hang loose.

There is only ONE restaurant in redstone as of now, the grill at the inn (we might have a second open by August.... we might not), the general store has fried goodies and simple groceries but is fairly pricey, and rooms at the inn usually do not have mini fridges! There is another restaurant called slow groovin bbq 20 min away in marble and lots of options 20 min away in Carbondale along with a full grocery store.
All kids are welcome to all events, bring a swim suit the inn has a pool! Rooms at the inn are only a step away from the reception area too!
