Rugged and wild, Moffat County is Colorado's Last

Frontier where wide open spaces hold treasures too rare to be missed. Explore some of the last free-flowing rivers in North America, where spectacular canyons reveal ancient petroglyphs and hundreds of species of birds, where Dinosaur National Monument and nearly two million acres of public lands leave plenty of room for some of the world's largest herds of wild mustangs and migratory elk. Here, the views haven't changed in hundreds of years, you can experience today what it was like to live like a pioneer, hide out like an outlaw, ride the range with a real cowboy and travel the century-old transcontinental Victory Highway. History comes alive on working ranches in in living history museums where locals can proudly point to their pioneer roots, sharing their love of the land and wide-open spaces that are Moffat County.
