"Silt is a tiny town off western I-70"
Silt is about 50 miles east of Grand Junction and only about 10 west of Glenwood Springs. Silt is in the pretty river valley of where the Colorado River is broad and full of green meadows in the summer months. Although Silt is right off Interstate 70 it still has a quaint feel and not a highway feel.
There are less than 2,000 people that call Silt home and there are some great county roads and beautiful homes and large acreage mountain land up and around Silt mostly to the north of I-70. Up to the north there is the pretty Grass Valley Reservoir and more farmland. The Silt area has a lot of farmland and interesting crops, not just traditional monoculture, pesticide ridden farming methods.

"A small treasure trove of outdoor adventure"
Silt, Colorado lies 185 miles to the west of Denver and right next to the Colorado River. It's a small town with a population of just under 3,000. If you're an outdoor enthusiast, this is the place to be. There's whitewater rafting, fishing, fly fishing, mountain biking, hiking, and hunting. The town is so small that most of the residents know each other and there is a good neighborly spirit. Earlier this year Silt opened a new library which is a great new addition to the town. Since Silt lies right of of I-70 there are several hotels here to accommodate weary travelers. In addition to the hotels there are several restaurants, all of them locally owned with no chain type restaurants in the mix as of yet.
The beauty of the river along with the mountainous backdrop make Silt a very lovely place to call home. The median home price here is $244,200 with a median household income of $64,300. Many of the residents work in construction, retail, and health care services. Valley View Hospital is located here along with a rehab center and some private practices.
There is an elementary school located in Silt which performs higher than average on state testings standards. Older students continue their education just over six miles away in Rifle, which has slightly lower testing scores than the rest of Colorado.
Overall, this quiet little town would be a great place to live for anyone who loves the scenic outdoors and what all it has to offer.
