Montrose Overview

Although at first glance this quiet city of just over 12,000 is little more than a commercial center for area ranchers and farmers, Montrose is rapidly being discovered as an ideal base camp for hikers, mountain bikers, anglers, and others who want to explore western Colorado. Located at an elevation of 5,794 feet, Montrose is surrounded by the Uncompahgre, Gunnison, and Grand Mesa national forests, and it's within a short drive of Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park and Curecanti National Recreation Area.
