RV rental Rifle, CO: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

When you book an RV in Rifle, you will have access to multiple, unique sites, including the Rifle Arch Trail. This trail takes hikers to a view of a local rock arch formed by natural erosion. Please note, there is not a lot of shade available on this route so you may wish to consider not tackling it during the heat of the day, at least in the warmer months. It should also be noted that while this is not considered a difficult trail, it is still found at around 6000 feet in elevation, so people from lower altitudes may notice the thinner air when exerting themselves. This portion of Colorado is very rural, so you may have to travel a little ways to reach some of the sites. The Flat Top Wilderness area is located around 90 miles northeast of Rifle. The area was so named because many of the mountain peaks contained within it are rather flat on top. As Colorado's third largest wilderness area, it offers numerous activities, including camping, hiking, ATV trails, and scenic drives. This is also a prime place to view much of the state's unique wildlife. Another site in this general region that you won't want to miss is Grand Mesa National Forest. This area is found around 90 miles to the south of town. The forest features camping, hiking, and fishing opportunities, as it contains numerous small lakes. Be aware, this area receives a considerable amount of snow during the long winter months, and it is actually more known for its winter sports. Be prepared for snow that may last well into May. This area is also higher in elevation than much of the surrounding region, so temperatures here may be considerably cooler. At the top of the park's namesake mesa lies an old, forest service, observation station. This site is also known for its overly-friendly chipmunks! When visiting the forest in the summer months, mosquito spray is also highly recommended!
