Mission

Take students from the Roaring Fork Valley who attend the Aspen Youth Center on a flight over their backyard landscapes, with a focus on the Crystal River.

EcoFlight is a part of the efforts to protect the Crystal River and educating these future leaders is so important! We flew from the Aspen Airport past the majestic Mount Sopris, Crystal River Valley, Roaring Fork River, and Ruedi Reservoir in the Fryingpan Valley. After the students heard about the threats facing the Crystal River and this region, we asked them what they want the future of these places to look like?
