Montrose

The high-desert landscape around Montrose is defined by the irrigated Uncompahgre Valley and dry mesas, which have shaped both the urban form and local economy. The Uncompahgre River crosses this western Colorado community, where agriculture remains part of the valley’s identity. Montrose is also close to Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, whose steep, narrow gorge was carved by the Gunnison River. The Ute Indian Museum preserves and interprets the history and culture of the Ute people, an essential part of the region’s story.
