 - Redstone -

Redstone (elevation 7,176 feet / 2,187 meters) is in Pitkin County, Colorado. The population as of the 2020 Census was 127. The village is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district. The Redstone Coke Oven Historic District is located at the intersection of State Highway 133 and Chair Mountain Stables Road outside of Redstone. It consists of the remaining coke ovens built at the end of the 19th century by the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company. In 1990, it was recognized as a historic district and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Two hundred were built, because the coal in the surrounding mountains was ideal for refining into coke. At their peak, they were producing almost 6 million tons a year. Within ten years of their construction the ovens fell into disuse when the mines closed, never to be used again.

Redstone has a humid continental climate (Koppen: Dfb). Summers are warm with cool nights and winters are cold with heavy snowfall averaging 170 inches (430 cm) annually.
