DESTINATION

Greeley

The location, near the confluence of the Cache la Poudre and South Platte rivers, was well chosen. By 1875 the colony had constructed one of the first large irrigation systems in the territory, and hay and barley were waving in the fields not occupied by cattle. Cattle and crops remain agricultural mainstays.

Many of Greeley's cultural activities are hosted by the University of Northern Colorado and the city's Union Colony Civic Center. The century-old Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra continues to perform concerts throughout the year; phone (970) 356-6406. Featuring one of the largest outdoor rodeos in the nation, the Greeley Independence Stampede is held each year from late June to early July and includes—in addition to rodeos—a carnival, concerts, a parade and fireworks on the Fourth of July.
