Rifle Pond
Rifle Pond is located near the Rest Area along Interstate 70 in Rifle, Colorado. The pond is a gravel pit that was created in the early 70’s when the interstate was being built. Before that time there was a large open area here where they held the annual Easter egg hunt and closer to the old river bridge was the location of the Calwell Honey Company. A trail forms a 1 mile loop around the pond – which Moose and I made sure to hike in the morning light.
