Rifle Mountain Park

RIFLE MOUNTAIN PARK Rifle Mountain Park was officially established on October 21, 1921, through a U.S. Patent signed by President Warren G. Harding. The park was created following a Special Act passed by Congress in 1910 that allowed municipalities to preserve public lands for park use. Today, the approximately 500-acre park is recognized worldwide for its limestone rock climbing and more than 400 bolted climbing routes. Owned and operated by the City of Rifle, Rifle Mountain Park welcomes visitors from across the globe while also serving as a valued local destination for climbing, camping, picnicking, hiking, and enjoying the canyon’s natural beauty and wildlife.
