About
In the Heart of the Rocky Mountains
Location
Colorado Rocky Mountain School is located just 30 miles (48 Kilometers) from Aspen, Colorado – a world-renowned destination. Aspen is famous for its majestic setting and exceptional mountains, as well as bringing together the very best in the worlds of art, music and dance. Aspen is also a global leader in environmental studies and think-tank policies. Olympic snow-sport athletes such as Gretchen Bleiieler and Chris Klug call Aspen “home.” The Aspen Music Festival and the Aspen Institute are just two examples of elite intuitions that reside in Aspen.

Directions
Situated in the heart of the Colorado Rockies just 30 minutes from Aspen, CRMS is surrounded by some of America's most outstanding vistas. At the crossroads of forest, river, valley, and mountain, the 300-plus-acre CRMS campus (which doubles as a working ranch) takes full advantage of its bucolic location in the shadow of 13,000-foot Mount Sopris.
Despite the campus's remove from the bustle of urban life, visiting CRMS is not difficult. Several airports are within driving distance, and local lodging and dining amenities are plentiful.
