Montezuma County lies in the far southwest corner of the State of Colorado, just 38 miles from the only place where four states meet; Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. The City of Cortez is the county seat, with the Town of Dolores, the Town of Mancos, and the Town of Towaoc as additional centers.

This unique location is also near the center for four metropolitan centers: Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Albuquerque, and Denver with a total population of twenty million people. Access to those numbers while living and working in a place where there is no pollution, no traffic and a low crime rate make it the best of all possible worlds.

This point is also where two Native American nations come together: the Navajo and the Ute Mountain Ute.

With an average summer temperature of 70.8 F, and an average winter temperature of 26.6 F, Cortez enjoys all four seasons. Our population of 8,000 is outdoor-oriented.

Within 20 minutes of the County Seat of Cortez, residents can enjoy the mountains or the desert. Montezuma County’s natural assets create an enjoyable way of life for those who live here, as well as oil and gas deposits. Just ten miles from the entrance to Mesa Verde National Park, Montezuma County is the archeological center of the United States.

Down to earth hobbies like hunting, fishing, mountain biking, gardening, hiking the mountains and canyons, jeeping, horseback riding, river rafting, cross country skiing, are more to our liking that city night life. (Unless you count the milky way splashing across the night skies).

When people talk about getting out of the city to a place where life is more laid back and the world isn’t always in a hurry, they’re talking about Cortez.
