Rio Blanco County

Rio Blanco County, which borders Moffat County to its south, offers much of the same scenery and ranch life that Moffat does.

The county includes two towns -- Meeker, which is 48 miles south of Craig, and Rangely, which is 18 miles south of Dinosaur.

Meeker features many of the amenities one would expect in a town of about 2,200 people, including a charming court square.

Rangely, a bit smaller at about 2,000 residents, is a town that's felt the boom of the oil and gas industry. Again, the town features many of the services one needs.

Surrounding the towns Rio Blanco County also offers the range of outdoor possibilities Northwest Colorado is known for.
