Located on Colorado's West Slope, 200 miles west of Denver, Rifle captures the perfect mix of old and new - of tradition and progress. It's a place to start a business, it's a place to raise a family, and it's a place to retire.

The brilliance of our winters will dazzle you. While Rifle itself enjoys moderate winter weather, you are only minutes away from some of the world's finest groomed snowmobile trails, alpine and cross-country skiing.

Rifle Gap Reservoir, a 15-minute drive north of Rifle, in addition to supporting outstanding trout, walleye, and small-mouth bass fishing provides a truly vivid setting for boating, jet skiing, and water skiing. A paved boat ramp, numerous camping areas, picnic areas, swimming beach, and fishing areas combine to make this lake facility one of the finest in the state.
