Cowboy poetry, rodeos and a sheep and cattle drive that still filters through the town's Main Street for spring and winter grazing set the tone for this small agricultural community. Meeker is located in the scenic White River Valley, on the north side of the White River and at the base of a long ridge, known locally as the China Wall. The surrounding area boasts untouched wilderness, such as the Flat Tops Wilderness Area and White River National Forest. Although Meeker is considered to be somewhat isolated from surrounding communities, this Rio Blanco County seat is situated near the easily accessible highway junction of Colorado State Highways 13 and 64, just a short drive to the neighboring communities of Craig, Rifle, Glenwood Springs and Grand Junction. The landscape provides an abundance of nature, leisure and sporting activities, from hunting and fishing to camping and snowmobiling. Meeker is also known for hosting the annual 4th of July Range Call Celebration, the longest running rodeo in Colorado. Visitors can complete their trip by discovering the town's rich and colorful history while exploring the White River Museum, and leave with a memento of Meeker from the downtown historic shopping district.
