Map It!
Sculpted by three Rocky Mountain Rivers – The North Fork of the Gunnison, the Gunnison, and the Uncompahgre converge in this valley in their race toward the mighty Colorado River. Each river holds stretches that delight anglers and boaters alike. Gold Medal stretches have easy access and remote access both.
West of the City of Delta, Dominguez and Escalante Canyons beckon you to explore their hidden grandeur. Newly designated Wilderness areas protect the river, sandstone and windgate cliffs, and the many sites filled with rock art and other evidence of early man’s enjoyment of this wonderful canyon system.
Delta County is quickly becoming the newest wine region in Colorado. Now with fifteen wineries and 3 tasting rooms this region is known for its high altitude grapes and varietals. From the Chambourcin to the Chardonnay you will find something to please your palate.
Distillers are finding that the fruit and grain grown here is exceptional for their gins, vodkas, whiskeys and other spirits. Tasting rooms are available for these little sips too!
Two 18-hole golf courses call Delta County home and are highly rated for their design and affordability. You can tee off nearly 350 days a year and find packages that make your trip easy to plan. Choose from Devil’s Thumb in Delta or DeerCreek Village in Cedaredge.
Live music can be found in the open air from May until October with live concerts, live music at farm and wine dinners, live entertainment at the Paradise and Blue Sage and in the Parks.
400 miles of trails on the Grand Mesa and numerous trails in the North Fork Valley mean that you will always find recreational solitude here. Year ’round trails provide hiking, mtn biking, snowmobiles, and back-country or groomed trails. Bring your favorite gear and hit the trail.
Right on the North Rim of the Black Canyon National Park, under the watch of the Grand Mesa National Forest and Byway, and surrounded by National Wilderness and Recreational areas (Dominguez, Escalante and the Gunniosn Gorge) you can find your outdoor Mecca. From dark canyon walls, red cliffs, emerald meadows and alpine forests you will feel like the surrounding beauty never ends.
The arts on Our Side of the Divide are amazing. Several galleries and studios feature local art and regional art. From fine art to functional art, art for the wall to wearables, you will love the creativity here.
Book a night or two and make this your own getaway.
