Northwest Colorado at a Glance
Countless recreational opportunities, an overwhelming array of wildlife and rich
Western history attract tourists to Northwest Colorado. Spacious parks and green
spaces, including Rifle
Gap State Park and nearby Harvey
Gap State Park, supply a variety of scenic settings and facilitate outdoor
activities that range from hiking and mountain biking to fishing and boating.
The northwest portion of White
River National Forest, a popular destination for hiking, camping and picnicking,
also attracts outdoor enthusiasts to the region, as does Sunlight
Mountain Resort. A fascinating feature of Northwest Colorado is the stretch
of Interstate-70 that travels through Glenwood Canyon, which has been touted as
one of the most scenic drives in America, presenting travelers with awe-inspiring
views and a series of impressive bridges and tunnels. Glenwood
Caverns Adventure Park, a family attraction just outside of Glenwood
Springs, is open year-round for cave tours that reveal displays of stalactites
and stalagmites.
