Rock Bottom Ranch serves as ACES' mid-valley hub for environmental education, wildlands preservation, and sustainable agriculture. The 115-acre wildlife preserve and educational ranch is hidden away between the Roaring Fork River and the Crown of Mount Sopris and is located midway between Basalt and Carbondale on the newly-completed section of the Rio Grande Trail. Its acreage includes wetlands, spring-fed ponds, a braid of the Roaring Fork River, cottonwood bottomlands, and a view of the Pinyon Juniper Woodland on adjacent BLM land.
Rock Bottom Ranch is open to the public Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm. Please stop by and experience a guided tour of the farmyard, walk down our nature trail, peruse our library, or picnic on Cole Island.
