Kremmling, Small Town Hospitality
in the Colorado River Valley

Grand County's Confluence to Outdoor Adventure

Nestled in Colorado's Rocky Mountain High Country, Kremmling, Colorado embodies the spirit of the American West. It is characterized by a respect for the land we walk on and the wildlife that calls it home, the determination of the pioneer, and the kinship of community. The valley around Kremmling was once home to the Ute Indians, and was settled by silver miners in the late 1800s. Today Kremmling is sounded by three National Forests, several recreational reservoirs, and working ranches making it an ideal vacation destination for families and sportsmen.

When you visit take a deep breath of our clear mountain air, it's an exhilarating feeling that inspires a zest for life here in Kremmling, Colorado.

KREMMLING sits at the confluence of Muddy Creek, the Blue River and the Colorado River, and it is surrounded by Routt National Forest, Arapaho National Forest, and White River National Forest! Kremmling is also near Wolford Reservoir, Williams Fork Reservoir, and Green Mountain Reservoir.

KREMMLING, Colorado offers a touch of western hospitality at a handful of small hotels, private vacation cabins, campgrounds, RV parks and dude ranches.

Colorado River Headwaters Scenic Byway Parallels One of North America's Mightiest Rivers

KREMMLING is in the heart of Colorado's high country and at the crossroads of Highway 9 and historic Highway 40, a designated Colorado and National Scenic Byway. The Byway drops 1,700 feet in elevation along its' 80 mile stretch as it follows the Colorado River past reservoirs, vast ranch lands, and through narrow canyons flanked by the railroad. Wildlife abounds and access to public land offers year-round recreation. Views of the Rocky Mountain landscapes and geology will make this drive one you will want to experience in every season.

The best elk hunting in Colorado is near Kremmling (Colorado Hunting Units 15, 27, 36, 37, 181). The Colorado River and the Blue River offer Gold Medal waters that keep your line active and your net full! These Rivers also offer rapids that make river rafting or kayaking adventures safe for the whole family.

During the winter, Kremmling offers exceptional ice fishing on Wolford and Williams Fork Reservoirs. For those looking for a land excursion to bound through the snow there are plenty of groomed trails for snowmobiles, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Bluebird Backcountry Ski Area on Rabbit Ears Pass is Colorado’s newest ski area, a ski experience with no chairlifts; from dogs and slopeside camping to live music and free bacon, this is the most unique ski mountain in the universe!

Kremmling scenery is not only stunning but of geological importance. Fossil Ridge is a short drive from Kremmling and has fossils of long gone ammonites. Don't forget to stop at Inspiration Point to see the spectacular views of Gore Canyon.
