Welcome to the North Fork Valley Chamber of Commerce 

 

 

The North Fork Valley has been referred to in an article in Forbes magazine as “The Golden Triangle”. Hotchkiss is the northwestern point on the triangle; the other two points of the triangle are Crawford and Paonia, and other North Fork Valley areas include Lazear, and rural Delta County.  

 

Old and new ways of life intersect and tend to complement one another.  Tradition is still strong in the Valley and expresses itself, among other ways, in the many cattle and sheep ranches found here.  
 
Cattle drives, with cowboys often on horseback, are still common in early summer and late fall/early winter, as ranchers move their cattle between valley pastures and the warm weather grazing lands of the high country. 

But for every old-time cattle ranch, there’s an organic orchard or commercial garden, a vineyard, or a rancher raising elk, buffalo... or even yak!  
 
Charming B&Bs, restaurants serving farm fresh to table food, locally produced wines, art studios by renowned artists, music performances, and ongoing entertainment events and festivals make the three towns of Crawford, Hotchkiss, and Paonia of the North Fork Valley a special place to visit.  We are on the east side of Delta County, on the Western Slope of Colorado.
