The Ridgway Visitor Center (150 Racecourse Rd.) is closed for the remainder of 2020 due to the impacts of COVID-19. However, we do have the 2020 Ridgway and Ouray Visitor Guide available for free outside the center, so please stop by for a copy.
Ridgway is packed full of things to do, sites to see and places to visit. We've put together a series of itineraries to help give you an idea of how best to navigate through all of the opportunities to explore Ridgway and the Southwest of Colorado.
Montrose Regional Airport, the closest local airport, also happens to be the largest in southwestern Colorado. The airports in Grand Junction, Telluride, Durango and Gunnison are also easily accessible. Out-of-state guests often fly into Denver International Airport and then drive or take a shuttle to Ouray County, taking advantage of other Colorado attractions on the way here; the ever-changing scenery alone makes the drive well worth it.
In the wintertime, be sure to check local road reports and be prepared for inclement weather. Visit the Colorado Department of Transportation travel website for the most up-to-date travel reports at cotrip.org or call 511 or 1-877-315-7623.
Automobile rental agencies and local shuttle services have offices at all of the regional airports. Contact the airport for their listings. Western Slope Rides and Telluride Express shuttle services offer local and regional transportation, while bus services like Greyhound and Road Runner Stage Lines provide rides to more distant destinations.
