With activities for everyone, from hiking and climbing, mountain and road biking, horseback riding, fishing, boating and water sports, ATV/UTV/off-roading and dirt biking, camping, bird watching and epic star gazing, Norwood is a true hidden gem when it comes to summer activities in Colorado.
Located at 7,000 feet in southwestern Colorado, Norwood sits approximately two hours south of Grand Junction, two hours north of Cortez, one and a half hours east of Moab and forty minutes west of Telluride and Ridgway. Norwood, Western Colorado’s first International Dark Sky Association Dark Sky Community, is an ideal location for outdoor recreation with its mild climate giving way to warm summer days and cool nights.
Surrounded by thousands of acres of public BLM and National Forest land, the area features varying terrain from high desert landscape with piñon, juniper and sage brush, to aspen and pine tree forests, rugged mountains, 12,000+ foot peaks, and everything in between. Norwood is the ultimate Colorado playground for outdoor lovers and adventure seekers alike!
