Moffat
6.8
High score (8-10)
Dinosaur National Monument's Colorado portion is in this county — the fossil quarry and canyon drives are legitimately worth the trip. If you're doing a Four Corners-Moab-Dinosaur circuit, Craig is a functional base.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Craig's economy was built entirely on coal and the Tri-State Generation coal plant that powered much of the region closed in 2022, triggering real economic distress. Population around 9,000. The community is dealing with economic collapse in real time.
Lower score (below 6)
Post-coal economic distress in an isolated northwestern Colorado county with 13,000 people. The social culture is insular, conservative, and struggling economically. Not a destination for any purpose beyond accessing Dinosaur National Monument.
