Cory Colorado Attractions

Cory Colorado is located in the heart of Colorado’s southwestern fruit and wine region. So there are a number of orchards and vineyards to see and enjoy! But that’s not all there is to do in the area, here are some of the other attractions you can enjoy on your next trip to Cory!

• The Grand Mesa is full of lakes, streams and fish. You can find Rainbow Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Brown Trout, and Brook Trout which range from 8-14 inches. Grand Mesa National Forest has camping, picnicking, hiking, biking, trails to ride your ATV or go exploring with your OHV, take a scenic drive or just picnic or relax near a small stream or on the banks of a high mountain lake.
• Crag Crest National Recreation Trail is one of the Mesa’s well-known trails – a 10.3 mile trail that rises from 10,150 ft at Eggleston Lake to 11,189 ft at the crest. The view from the top can only be described as amazing. Animals are everywhere, so photography opportunities are abundant. Look for elk, deer, porcupine, snowshoe rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, pocket gophers, foxes, ravens, woodpeckers, finches, hawks, blue grouse, chickadees, robins, jays and hummingbirds.
• Grand Mesa Scenic and Historic Byway – This spectacular 63-mile scenic byway route begins at I-70 in the scenic Plateau River Canyon. Then you’ll climb through forests and meadows to the panoramic views from the top of Grand Mesa. Then you’ll drift down off the Mesa into the picturesque town of Cedaredge, Colorado where you can enjoy touring the Grand Mesa Byway Welcome Center and the Cedaredge Pioneer Town Museum.
