My favorite west Colorado town is Rifle.
Rifle is cool, and the Rifle Falls are a wonder. Spectacular scenery, this part of the state is like being back in time. I love living with Ranchers and farmers and buying my produce with the dirt still on it. The Maybell horse drive is an annual great event, the buffalo roundup is really something to see. There’s the Lavendar Festival, the Bee festival, Peach festival, Wine festival and on and on. Out here the real animals are dangerous instead of the human animals in urban areas. And if you look stuck on the side of the road, someone will stop pretty quick and ask if you are OK.
