Things To Do
The trailhead is fifteen minutes away. So is the canyon rim, the river, and the dinosaur.
Fruita is small on purpose. Nearly everything worth doing sits inside a twenty-minute drive — which means you can ride at first light, float through the afternoon, and still make it to dinner downtown.
Get outside
Four ways to spend a day
Biking
Desert singletrack at 18 Road, the Kokopelli rim, gravel through the farmland, and quiet road miles.
Hiking
Canyon rims, slickrock benches and arches — most of it without a crowd.
Water
The Colorado runs right past town. Float it, paddle it, or find a lake and stop moving.
Family Friendly
Dinosaurs, parks, pools and short trails that small legs can actually finish.
The rest of the day
