Explore Kremmling, Colorado

Kremmling is a quaint Western town with deep ranching roots. Bordered by cliffs on the north, Byers Canyon to the east, the Colorado and Blue Rivers to the south, Heeney Colorado also to the south, and Rabbit Ears area to the northwest, Kremmling has long been a playground for anglers, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts. The untamed, untapped wilderness areas led the community to dub West Grand county the “Sportman’s Paradise.” Visitors can also enjoy the stunning mountain views from a raft while running the Colorado River which runs through the town before entering Gore Canyon and its epic whitewater.

Fishing abounds around Kremmling with the Colorado river running through town and multiple points of river access up-river towards the east. The Blue river and its Gold Medal waters below the Green Mountain Reservoir dam has a reputation for such large trout that it has been nicknamed “Jurassic Park”. Nearby lakes to cast a line into include Wolford Mountain Reservoir just north of town, the Green Mountain Reservoir to the south and the Williams Fork Reservoir tuck away down a dirt road to the south-east.

The western half of Grand County is also one of the few mountain areas left where dirt bike, snowmobile, ATV and Jeep riders can off road on extensive, easily accessible trail systems. Trails begin at town limits, and stretch six miles north to Wolford Mountain. Whether you’re exploring on foot, horse, bike or machine, discover an affordable alternative to big mountain resorts, and experience the West at a fraction of the cost.
