Red Hill Recreation Area

Managing Traffic Flow and Resident Connectivity in a High-Usage Recreation Corridor

Roaring Fork Engineering partnered with the Aspen Valley Land Trust, Garfield County and The Town of Carbondale to address the increase in usage of the Red Hill Recreational Area. Red Hill is accessed by County Road (CR) 107 that also serves a subdivision further up the road. In addition, the parking lot originally intended for the users of Red Hill has become a commuter parking area where vehicles are parked for long periods of time, limiting space for the short-term recreational users.
