Fruita, Colorado – On the Border of Two of the Best States

Fruita, Colorado

Fruita is a particularly neat place because it’s right on the border of Colorado and Utah, thus allowing you easy access to the Rockies of Colorado and the canyonlands of Utah. It’s a small community, but is known as one of the top mountain biking destinations in the world. It’s surrounded by the Colorado National Monument and various canyons (see below), and boasts a fun traveler / outdoorsy scene. Seriously, everyone there seems to partake in every possible outdoor sport. There are a couple of breweries in the city too: Suds Brothers, and Copper Club Brewing.
