Whether for rest and relaxation or sport, Rifle offers an abundance of natural settings and choices for creating unique “Choose Your Own Adventure” stories. People here can enjoy a taste of the “New West” with a great cup of local coffee or morning yoga session, but it is always strongly seasoned with an Old West flavor of the adventurous spirit.
The warmer months in Rifle offer diverse attractions. The Rifle Creek Valley includes a superb golf course, stunning state parks, and great mountain climbing. Outside our back door are the towering cliffs of the Roan Plateau, the desert scrub of Hubbard Mesa, the high-altitude Flat Tops, trails for every type of rider through sagebrush or aspens, and the Colorado River. In town, we’ve got the best new concert venue in Colorado at the Ute Theater, the revamped Garfield County Fairgrounds, the restaurants, hotel, and shopping options of a regional center, and facilities for small conferences and sports tournaments. Visitors can easily hop on I-70 and make a weekend trip from Denver or Salt Lake City. But once you get to Rifle, you can be off the beaten path in minutes.
