The small town of Dumont is part of scenic Clear Creek County, an area of Colorado popular with history buffs and rafting enthusiasts. For impeccable vistas of iconic Colorado, as well as a tour of the area’s rich history, consider a drive along the Mount Evans scenic byway — a can’t-miss drive found close to town that takes visitors atop the highest paved road in North America.
Dumont is also the place to pick up your mountain adventure, not too far from Denver (just 45 minutes). A handful of rafting and ATV outfitters call the town home, as well as two adventure parks.
