Montrose is a historic Colorado town surrounded by vast stretches of public lands, making it your perfect base camp for yearround outdoor adventure.
Tucked into the Gunnison Valley, you’ll find 4 small mountain towns, ranging in population from nearly 1,000 residents all the way up to nearly 6,000, and then a smattering of even smaller towns that persist from their early days as mining towns. Running south to north, you’ll first find Gunnison, then Almont, then Crested Butte, and finally Mt. Crested Butte.
Montrose
Black Canyon National Park is the crown jewel of all Montrose attractions, combining spectacular views with a satisfying menu of activities ranging from hiking to adrenalinepumping rock climbing. In town, you will find treasures and one-of-a-kind treats in the shops, galleries, and restaurants along Main Street and around Montrose. Play a round of golf at one of three beautiful 18-hole golf courses, or learn about Western Colorado and Ute Indian history at our three museums. The Montrose Regional Airport is the hub for your Western Colorado adventure and offers access to a multitude of ways to play in town or get to area wonders within a short drive. So, whether you’re looking to come faceto-face with the humbling power of nature or simply want to get away for a relaxing weekend, take a deeper look at Montrose.
Gunnison/Crested Butte
Just outside the boundaries of the towns, you’ll find over 2 million acres of public land in Gunnison County. Recreation opportunities on this public land range from mountain biking to skiing to fishing and more. These wide expanses of undisturbed lands offer incredible views including meadows of wildflowers, tall mountain peaks, and the largest aspen grove in the state of Colorado. For more information visit
