If you're looking for an alternative to Telluride's "big city" feel, then head for the dirt roads and one streetlight town of Ridgway, CO (often misspelled as Ridgeway).  Roughly half an hour from Montrose, this sleepy mountain town was once a major railroad hub and ranching area.  John Wayne's 1969 film "True Grit" takes place here, which proves its place as an ideal old west stop.

Once in Ridgway, there are endless opportunities for Colorado's classic outdoor pursuits. Head two miles north of town to Ridgway State Park and take in the San Juan's extraordinary size and beauty. The parks sparkling mountain reservoir, trout fishing, boating, swimming, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding and camping are all minutes away from town's backdoor. In fact, you will find sandy beaches and a marina here as well as rainbow trout, large-mouthed bass and yellow perch. After you are done playing in the 1,000-acre reservoir waters, head over to nearby Orvis Hot Springs for several outdoor and indoor soaking options. Ridgway is an ideal option for experiencing it all. With ample historical sights and an impressive array of outdoor pursuits, Ridgway begs a visit while in the Southwest Colorado.
