Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get to Montrose?
Montrose sits on the Western Slope and most people drive in. It's the main stop on the way to the San Juan Mountains and the Black Canyon, so the town gets a lot of through traffic from people headed deeper into the high country. If you're flying into the region, this is a common place to start.
What is the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park?
The Black Canyon is a deep, narrow gorge that the Gunnison River cut over millions of years, and some of its cliffs are among the steepest in North America. It earned the name because parts of the canyon get so little sunlight the rock stays dark. People come to drive the rim, hike, climb, and fish.
What is there to do outdoors around Montrose?
The town backs right up to the Uncompahgre National Forest and the San Juan Mountains, with lakes and streams scattered through the area. You'll find hiking and mountain biking close by, and the fishing holds up if you know where to go. It's the kind of place where you can be on a trail twenty minutes after leaving town.
Is Montrose a good base for exploring the area?
It works well as a base. You can reach the Black Canyon, the San Juan Mountains, and the surrounding national forests without long drives, and the town is big enough to have what you need before you head out. A lot of folks use it as their home base and take day trips from here.
What can you see in Montrose itself?
The Ute Indian Museum is worth a stop and covers the history of the Ute people in this part of Colorado. There's also the Montrose County Historical Museum and a downtown with shops, restaurants, and galleries. The town puts on festivals and events through the year, mostly tied to the region's heritage.
