Photo courtesy of official Colorado State Parks website. Rifle Falls gives visitors a little taste of the tropics right here in Colorado! The focal point of Rifle Falls State Park is the Falls, which has been drawing visitors since 1883. The falls are much the same today. Mist from the falls have created a grotto that is popular with site seers, naturalists and photographers alike. |
