Vacations in Rico make for wholesome family holidays, owing to the area's various outdoor recreational opportunities. The Dolores River and its tributaries are great for a round of fishing, and the river banks are ideal for picnicking and grilling the fish you've caught. For hiking amid scenic beauty, head to the Lizard Head Wilderness, or take your children on an archaeological exploration by visiting the ancient cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde National Park. Spend the night camping in the scenic grounds of the park and appreciate the panoramic views of the canyon as the sun begins to set, casting a magical glow all around.
