The cities and towns along the river - Leadville, Buena Vista, Poncha Springs, Salida, Canon City, Florence and Pueblo - offer dining, lodging and hospitality.

Reservations: Reservations for Ruby Mountain Campground are accepted from early April through late September. For the remainder of the year, the park uses the "first-come, first-serve" rule.
