Visit Rifle Colorado - Real Western Adventure R***e is a growing Western Slope town booming with new businesses and opportunities while maintaining its small town atmosphere and local community feeling.

R***e is a place where visitors and residents alike can expect good value for their money and enjoy a wide variety of outdoor activities. ATV riding, fishing, hunting, mountain biking, climbing, dining, live performances, and more – R***e has it all. Whether for rest and relaxation or sport, R***e offers an abundance of natural settings and choices for creating unique β€œChoose Your Own Adventure” stories. People here can enjoy a taste of the β€œNew 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. R***e exemplifies the way that contemporary real westerners live. We don’t fit a stereotype. We blend different lifestyles in our own way, choosing from the adventures that are right outside our back door. While many communities might peg you as one thing, in R***e you can be who you want to be. We may be headed downtown to go gun shopping, but first stop by the coffee shop to get an espresso. We may go dirt-biking in the afternoon and then get back in time for a world-class show at the Ute Theater. We may be the president of a bank (no tie required) until 5 pm Friday, when we change into camo for the weekend hunting trip. We welcome people of all walks of life to enjoy our western heritage their way. R***e’s attractions are diverse. The R***e 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 restaurant, 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 R***e, you can be off the beaten path in minutes.
