Park Entrances
Colorado National Monument West (Fruita) Entrance
This entrance is the gateway to the Saddlehorn district and the monument’s main services. From Fruita (I-70 Exit 19), follow CO-340 south about 3 miles to the entrance; the Saddlehorn Visitor Center and Saddlehorn Campground sit roughly 4 miles up Rim Rock Drive, making this the most convenient start for trip planning, exhibits, ranger programs, and nearby scenic overlooks.

The dramatic rim approach from Grand Junction, reached via Broadway (CO-340) and Monument Road. Within the first mile, trailheads and picnic areas fan out beneath towering walls, this is the quickest access to the historic Serpents Trail (the original “crooked” road, now a steep hiking path), Devils Kitchen Picnic Area, and the long east tunnel along Rim Rock Drive.
