If you're in town early and not part of the rehearsal dinner, the Carbondale Rodeo is held on Thursday evenings! Please see website listed below for details.
Ever wanted to learn fly fishing? Think you're a hotshot already, but want a guide to take you on the river? Call Alpine Angling to book a guided float for Friday or Saturday morning.
Looking for choice views of Carbondale and Mt Sopris, but short on time? This trailhead is just outside of town and can be as easy or as miserably hard as you want! The top of Mushroom Rock is worth the toil.
Lorax trail is a more secluded hike about 10-minutes' drive from downtown.
This place is a great spot for both hiking and biking (and sometimes, if you're like Jake, hiking your bike).
Want a dash of the spice of life? Rent a bike from Basalt Bike & Ski. All of the trailheads we've suggested have bike-friendly options.
Want to golf with a view of Mt Sopris on every hole? Check out RVR, Carbondale's public golf course! Plan ahead for a tee time, it fills up quick!
One of our favorites for breakfast, lunch, and sammies to-go.
Want more of a sit down spot? Check out The Village Smithy for classic diner treats and bottomless, scalding hot coffee.

Very good no-frills spot for tacos, birria, tortas, burritos, etc.
This is our favorite spot to eat in Carbondale! Reservations are recommended for indoor seating however they have a great backyard with a bar and limited menu which is first come first serve.

One of our favorite dinner spots in town. We highly suggest making a reservation here. They have take away as well!
