Colorado Welcome Center

Cortez is home to one of the ten Colorado Welcome Centers in our state.  Our friendly travel counselors offer information on where to stay and play and are as quick with a smile as they are with advise.  Winter hours (September 1 to June 1):  8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

We offer hundreds of brochures and free maps.  Stop by and have a cup of coffee while you look over our collection of Ancestral Puebloan artifacts. We also have free internet access on two computers in the lobby.
