Rifle Falls

These are the Rifle Falls, located in Rifle Falls State Park outside of Rifle, Colorado. I've been here twice and both times there was a wedding going on. In the arid summers of the Western Slope these falls offer a bit of an oasis. Stand close and you can feel the spray from the water. Or take the trail to the top of the fall and look down over. Follow the trail on around and you can stand behind the falls. Along the trail are small limestone caves to explore, this is a good place to drive out of the way to burn some kid-energy.

These pictures are only a memory now, a dream. Right now it is cloudy and 20 degrees in Rifle. Rifle, by the way sits just off of Interstate 70 at exit 90, the State Route 13 to Meeker exit.
