Fruita is fun for the whole family
Fruita is a great place for adventurous families! You may already know about our amazing mountain bike trails or even our dinosaur digs, but do you know Fruita has some beautiful otherworldly hikes. As you overlook red rock canyons and sweeping desert views, you’ll forget you’re in Colorado.
The unique beauty of Fruita’s landscape and wide range of trails makes hiking one of our favorite Fruita family activities.
