Quiet streetscene in Rico

legacy_slideshow_city_landing_page_230

A raw, rugged sense of old Colorado fills this town, and visitors who stay here will get a real sense of how things used to be. History buffs will find a goldmine in Rico. Buildings and relics from the mining boom of the 1880s remain in various conditions throughout town. In addition, there's an old depot and railroad grade along the Dolores River.
Several restaurants are sprinkled throughout downtown, and there's a motel and a few B&amp;Bs in the area. Many <a href="https://artistsofrico.org">artists call Rico</a> home, and visitors can step into their workshops and galleries to see their creativity at work.
Of course, the wonders of the great outdoors are available in every direction from Rico. From hiking in the Lizard Head Wilderness area to mountain biking along old mining roads and single-track trails over the pass to <a href="/cities-and-towns/Telluride">Telluride</a>, there's plenty to explore outside the hotel room. Four-wheel driving along forest roads, fishing in the Dolores River, and hunting and backcountry skiing in the endless natural areas surrounding Rico are just a few more ways visitors can spend a day here.
