Whether you are visiting during the summer or the winter, the Rifle
area has many trails to explore with a motorized sports vehicle. A
volunteer group from Rifle, Colorado grooms over 25 miles of trails
for snowmobiling on the Flat Top Mountains. Other snowmobile trails
can be accessed on Grand Mesa and the Roan Cliffs. The odds are
pretty good for catching a glimpse of deer and elk in the winter
evening as they head down toward warmer elevations.
4-Wheeling and ATVing trails are abundant during the summer months. Head up from the river in any part of the Rifle area and you are bound to come across trails suitable for only 4-wheel drive vehicles and some only wide enough for ATVs and dirt bikes. Enjoy speeding through fields of purple wildflowers or climbing steep terrain in Colorado's backcountry.
Trail maps are available year round at the Rifle Information Center - 200 Lions Park Circle along the Colorado River. Follow signs to the information center off of Interstate-70.
