This little old west town has been dubbed a “simply irresistible little town”, or SILT.  Calling the town by an acronym is much more inviting than a town named after the fine sand of the Colorado river bottom. Although this is a tiny little town, you will find interesting things to do in Silt and in the surrounding area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silt is located centrally along I-70, between Glenwood Springs and Rifle. Generally, visitors stay in Silt as a jumping-off point for activities in the greater Colorado River Valley. In fact, the town calls itself the ” gateway to the outdoors.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Silt area boasts hiking, fishing, snowshoeing, skiing, snowmobiling, rafting, biking, boating, and horseback riding throughout the year. The KOA campground has become a favorite of travelers. It is frequented by many of the same travelers that visit the Hot Springs in Glenwood Springs <\/a>annually.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is part of our series on Western Colorado. If you are looking for things to do and places to stay near Silt we have many more resources for you. The next town west (or down the valley) is Rifle and the extremely popular Glenwood Springs is 15 miles to the east(or up valley). (Hint if you want to sound like a local heading east along I-70 is called “up valley” and west is called “down valley” because it is along the Colorado River. <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
