Anyone been to Montrose, Colorado?

[Marvin]

Hi Guys,
I have been offered a teaching exchange to Montrose in Colorado next year. We had applied for Canada but this came up and we are tempted. I was wondering if anyone had actually been there or to that part of Colorado and what it is like. All I can find is the usual tourist websites and I am not allowed to contact the other teacher until I sign on the dotted line!
Thanks,
Lee

I've been there a couple of times, the drive from there South to Durango is one of the most spectacular to be found anywhere IMO. More wonderful scenery than you poke a stick (or a camera!) at
Its a small ~15000 population rural city close to the Rocky Mountains and if I had the chance to go there for a year I'd definitely take it!

Of course there are fantastic ski resorts in Colorado - could be handy if you are interested. Only 5 months until their ski season is underway again.
You may have lots of visitors then...

Cheers, Mick

 LOL I'm sure you've never heard them before!!

I signed on the dotted line today so now I have to wait for confirmation from the other end. Thanks guys!

Congrats, and good luck.

Of course, we won't let you go unless and until you promise to post lots of images.

Thanks! I am excited now and I hope it comes off. I hope it will give me many opportunities to improve my photography too and I will post lots of images! I can't believe they get 3 whole months off over summer. Plenty of time to get around and photograph (and get paid to do it).
