This is West Branch - the place where you can get away from it all.
Did someone say camping? If you have ever been to the Rifle River Recreation Area State Campground, then you know to bring your hiking boots to wander through the endless trails, or your fishing pole for the multitude of trout streams we have to offer. Have you noticed food always tastes better over a campfire and family always feels closer at a campfire? This is the feeling you get when you kick back, relax, de-stress, and leave the crazy world behind.
Where the basic courtesy of saying hello to a stranger, waving to an elder, or nodding in approval to a Veteran is a common practice. So leave that hustle and bustle of city life, or the old routine behind, and find yourself in this special place. This is West Branch and this is where a piece of small town America is waiting for your participation in whatever way works best for you.
