Hotchkiss, Colorado is orchard country. The rich basin area of the Grand Mesa, supplemented by high-tech irrigation, provides just the right kind of soil for growing sweet and juicy peaches and apples.

One of the town's biggest contributions to the state is fish: the Hotchkiss National Fish Hatchery is a major supplier of trout for Colorado and New Mexico reservoirs. Here you can tour the facility and learn about hatching and transporting trout. Fishing and hiking make up the most popular pursuits in the area.
