MonitoringLocationDescriptionText From Basalt travel south on Highway 82 towards Aspen. Turn right (west) onto Brush Creek road heading towards the Town of Snowmass Village. Drive 2.5 miles to the first roundabout. At roundabout continue on Brush Creek Road for 1.5 more miles and then turn left (east) onto Owl Creek Road. Take the very next left (with a Snowmass Chapel sign) and follow road as it curves to the right and then becomes the Snowmass Chapel Parking Lot. Park and proceed to the Northeast end of the lot to find a walking path. Follow path downstream from the Chapel bridge, past a picnic table, and then turn left just before a stand of aspens. Follow a very short grassy hill down to some large boulders near the creek to sample. (Permission to sample from Rich Hooper, Grounds/Maint. for Snowmass Chapel)
