Eureka! Montrose was first founded by miners and mountaineers supporting the search for precious minerals. While only a few mines are still operating, the treasure of the San Juan Mountains still draws visitors from all over the world. Montrose is literally surrounded by outdoor adventure. The San Juan Mountains to the south provide some of the most-photographed views published throughout the United States. Only 30 minutes to the north, you can visit the Grand Mesa—the largest flat-top mountain in the nation. Blue Mesa—the largest body of water in Colorado—offers amazing fishing just 40 miles to the east. The Uncompahgre Plateau provides world-class hunting just to the west of town. Montrose truly is an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise. In one hour or less you can find unending options for nearly every outdoor adventure.
Outdoor recreation in Montrose is more rugged, isolated, and beautiful than in most of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. Start in Montrose to find yourself alone in some of the most stunning natural beauty in the nation.
