Best places: Historical landmarks in Fruita, United States

Restored steam train that offers scenic, seasonal rides & ends at a museum displaying machinery.

Guided tours are offered of this big cliff dwelling built by Ancestral Puebloans from 1190 to 1260.

👍👍 Definitely worth doing at least once for the view at the top! Highly recommend going with a buddy to help navigate as needed on the steep rock steps. We had a Gen 1 and Gen 2 Raptor and made it to the top with some scraping, and had to stack rocks in a couple spots to get up or down a couple steep s...

👍👍 This was awesome! Learning a ton about the mines that you see dotting I-70 was incredible, and our tour guide Michael was great! Robyn showed us some awesome gold panning tips and we brought home a whole bunch of gold flake, peacock pyrite ore, a copper nugget and an amethyst from a short time panni...

👍👍 What a neat little museum. This is a must-do stop in Frisco. Several old buildings with rich history, relics, and lost treasures. We took our group of 13 to tour and everyone loved it! They’ve also got a large display and train table. Check it out!

Extensive 1200s cliff dwelling in Mesa Verde NP, with adventurous guided tours offered seasonally.

Small Utah monument known for its rock panel carved with a large collection of petroglyphs.

Moderate hiking trail leading to the gravesite of gunslinger Doc Holliday in Linwood Cemetery.

Bright 19th-century hotel with 2 restaurants & a bar, plus a rooftop lounge & ski storage.

👍👍 Awesome experience. I have never seen so many Fremont Petroglyphs in one spot. The property is easy to find and very well kempt. Though be sure to follow the rules and be as respectful of the property as possible. I am glad we made this detour to see this and I am grateful for the family that allows...

😐 Really pretty. The color of the water was amazing but, there are fences up and you can't really get out and look. I was taking pictures and a lady came up on her bike and started yelling at me and my kids, saying we were trespassing.

👍👍 A great place for a picnic! More of a stroll than a hike, age and family friendly. They keep it super clean, our only gripe would have been the bathrooms.. due to the pandemic they only have one stall available at a time. The ruins are so unique, we had to rush through it to make the museum before...

👍👍 A wonderful spot to step back into the past. The glyphs are up the rock face 30' up or so, but you can still see the stories etched there so long ago. The best place to stop is by the sign that's on the river side, then cross to the cliffs. Worth the stop for sure.

👍 Great place to look at some historic communication. Also a great place to experiment with different ways to image this place. The fence ruins any chances of some excellent wide angle captures even though we understand why it's there. Sometimes public just sucks. This great place was vandalized earli...

👍👍 This place is amazing! Exquisite! So many examples of wildlife from around the world. Beautiful works of art. I would have never been able to experience seeing any of these animals except in a book, video or a museum from afar. This was a free experience with nearly everything for sale. Most unusual...

Massive theater destination built in the 1920s for performing arts & independent film screenings.

👍👍 Driving the Potash road is a real pleasure as it winds its way through the Colorado river canyon. Beautiful. The Petroglyphs are easily seen at the marked roadside stopping point. The Dino track is a little underwhelming but a nice little walk up the hillside. I recommend you go a little further...

👍 Gorgeous views of the pits and small house. Unfortunately, a lot of the places were closed either due to construction at the museum or road work. It's an amazing drive and lots of look outs and places to hike to. It's just unfortunate that a lot of the places were closed. Bring water or a camelbak f...
