Ridgway

Ridgway is a small community in Ouray County, only 38 miles from Telluride on US 62. From ranchers to ice climbers to small business owners, the local population is diverse. Whether you're looking for a 35-acre parcel, a contemporary log home, or a historic mining-era house, Ridgway allows you to take advantage of lower-priced housing with no transfer tax, while enjoying the benefits of proximity to the Montrose Regional Airport and the Telluride resort amenities. Relax on the beach at Ridgway State Park, soak in one of Ouray's hot springs; or, if you're extremely fit, climb Mt. Sneffels, Ridgway's 14,000-foot peak.
