Access the West End

GETTING HERE

Not to be confused with the Western Slope…the West End is located between Telluride, Colorado and Moab, Utah. The region includes several small towns – Nucla, Naturita, Bedrock, Redvale, Paradox, and Norwood. Hence our slogan, “Many Towns. One Community.” Just five-plus hours from Denver or Salt Lake City, it makes for a great long weekend trip. On the eastern edge, Norwood is less than 50 miles from Montrose and on the western side, Gateway is just 50 miles southwest of Grand Junction.

Hopkins Airfield [AIB]: Nucla

The Airport is a public-use, general aviation airport that serves the County’s private, business, military and agricultural needs. AIB was developed during World War II, but since that time, the facilities have expanded, and the Airport has become an important asset to the surrounding region and community.
