Getting Here
Norwood is only 33 miles west
of Telluride... a roughly 45-minute drive. Follow Colorado 145 West
(along the Unaweep-Tabaguache Scenic byway). You'll enjoy the scenic
forty-minute drive down the red rock-rimmed San Miguel River Canyon
to Norwood. As you top out on Norwood Hill, you will gasp at
majestic 12,700 foot Lone Cone Mountain as it stands silent sentinel
over Wright's Mesa. As the sun sets beautifully behind the Blue and
La Sal Mountains to the west in Utah, you will feel as if you are in
a wide valley surrounded by mountains. Just a couple more miles to
the ranching community of Norwood, where western hospitality awaits
you.
