About Montrose and its setting

Montrose sits at about 1,824 metres in western Colorado, in a broad valley framed by the Uncompahgre Plateau and the San Juan Mountains further east. It is a working town known as a gateway to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park and to the Uncompahgre Valley's orchards and farmland. The air is dry and the landscape is open, with wide skies that change quickly through the day.

What to watch and when

The stream is a live view from an elevated position, so cloud build-up, storms rolling across the valley and changing light on the surrounding mesas are the main things to follow. Early morning and late afternoon usually bring the most dramatic colour, while summer afternoons often bring cumulus clouds and short thunderstorms. Exact conditions depend on the view and the weather that day.

Climate and getting around

Montrose has a semi-arid climate with hot summers, cold winters and relatively little rain, so it is sunny for much of the year. Late spring and early autumn are generally the most comfortable seasons for visiting. The town is a practical base for trips to the Black Canyon, Ouray and Telluride, which are all within a short drive, and the nearby cameras on this page show some of those places.
