The Town of Meeker is the Statutory Town that is the county seat and the most populous municipality of Rio Blanco County, Colorado, United States.

Welder Outfitters provided a spectacular one day horse ride for my son and his girlfriend in the scenic Flat tops wilderness above Trappers Lake. Beautiful alpine lakes and stunning vistas remain an incredible memory. We don't fish, but the lakes up there can be wonderful for trout fishing. We rode through evergreen and aspen forests and along side beautiful lakes. One of the prettiest places I've ever seen in Colorado and wonderful to have such safe steeds to do the climbing. Enjoyed the delicious lunch at the top! Very few other visitors, a lovely remote part of Colorado that few ever get to experience.
5. The White River Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 41 reviews
The White River Museum is housed in two of the log buildings from the 1880's that served as officer's quarters of the federal troops stationed in Meeker, as a result of the Meeker Massacre in 1879 and the infamous Milk Creek Battle, the last Indian Tribe/U.S.Army battle in America. Named one of the last curio museums in Colorado, it is filled with collections ranging from the 1880's to the 1950's. White River Museum is a good resource for family information from the region. Tour groups welcome. Open daily year round (except for Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day). Admission FREE, donations appreciated.
