Rifle Mountain Park
13885 Co Rd 217Beautiful hikes and world class rock climbing.
Great hiking, mountain biking, and rock climbing. We may not be Arizona, but we have our very own naturally formed arch! Look out for cool cactuses and lizards. Just a few miles down the road from us.

Colorado River
Head down to town and over to the boat launch to boat the river.
Large BLM area popular with OHV's, hikers, gun enthusiasts, and mountain bikers. Only downside is that is often an abused space that becomes littered easily. There is a quieter, cleaner, barely used access to this area across from the Arch Trail.

Another area popular with OHV's and gun enthusiasts. One of the only areas where you are allowed to drive wherever you want and don't have to stick to the trial.

City/town information
Head 45 minutes over to Glenwood Springs for a bigger town with more shopping. It also features two hot springs and a vapor cave. Hanging lake is also a popular hike but you'll need to book hiking/shuttle tickets in advance.
