The Country Inn Motel is part of the National 9 Inns franchise and is located in the town of Dove Creek, Colorado. Very easy to find, the motel is right on the highway toward the center of town. Just look for the bright yellow National 9 logo. Described as the Pinto Bean Capital of the World, Dove Creek is a small farming community located between Cortez, Colorado and Monticello, Utah on Highway 491.
Dove Creek is centrally located between such sightseeing attractions as Arches National Park and Mesa Verde National Park. Pictured in rotation below, the Dolores River Canyon is only a few miles from Dove Creek and perhaps the area's best kept secret. Kayak the river, fish, or mountain bike for miles. For a real challenge, take your bike all the way to Slick Rock by way of the Snaggletooth Trail.
