Kokopelli Basecamp: Stay At Colorado’s Horsethief Canyon Hideout

Colorado's old smuggler's highway to Montana runs right through Horsethief Canyon in Loma and was used as a narrow canyon to store and re-brand horses and cattle before moving them out of the area.

Today, the canyon is known as a great place to float the Colorado River and for riding mountain bikes on the Kokopelli Trail. Today, we're checking out the Horsetheif Canyon Hideout from Airbnb, which allows you a basecamp for an entire weekend of fun outside of Fruita/Grand Junction.
