Rifle Falls State Park Tours

Was surprised by the beauty in Rifle!
Was surprised by the beauty in Rifle!
There is a short walk to the falls from the campsites. Way back in the day it was just a river with a high concentration of calcium. Over the years, the calcium built up and created the falls and some neat caves! It's a fun place to explore!!
short easy walk from the parking lot to the falls, you can go under the falling water and there are a few caves to explore.
Awesome waterfall!!
Keep a lookout for native plant and animal life while you hike the trails of Rifle Falls State Park. That's when you're not being impressed by the stunning scenery!

This protected natural landscape is on the to-do lists of many travelers to Rifle. But Rifle Falls State Park isn't the only drawcard in the area. Rifle Mountain Park, Harvey Gap State Park, and Rifle Creek Golf Course are some other interesting sights close by.

Not a lot of advertising.  Noticed a sign right before the exit. 14 miles from exit. Definitely worth the drive.
