The largest elk herds in the United States are found
in Western Colorado. Thousands of hunters come to Colorado every year to
test their skills and hopefully bag the elusive "Wapiti". Meeker and the
surrounding areas are also very popular with hunters who pursue antelope,
mule deer, mountain lion and black bear.
Non-game species of wildlife are abundant. Bald Eagles
are frequently seen in their towering nesting areas along the White River
near Meeker. Golden Eagles soar through the skies and are an awesome sight
as well.
The White River Valley's friendly business owners,
their employees, and the general population welcome you and will do their
best to make your visit, vacation, hunting trip or relocation memorable
and enjoyable.
