Montrose Colorado - Introduction
Montrose is the second-largest town in western Colorado, a rapidly
expanding community tucked between the Uncompahgre Plateau and the
snow-capped West Elk Mountains. With plenty of nearby opportunities
for recreation, Montrose offers an extensive range of services while
still maintaining a small-town feel.
Day trips are possible from Montrose to dozens of attractions in
western Colorado, making the city an excellent base for an extended
trip. The Black Canyon is just east of town, Grand Mesa and the White
River National Forest are to the north, Telluride and the San Juan
Mountains are a short distance
south, and the Uncompahgre Plateau lies to the west.
Montrose is 60 miles southeast of Grand Junction, and about 225
miles west of Pueblo. For more information on the Montrose area,
