Cortez, CO - Cyburbia Forums

Cortez is, in some ways, the anti-Durango. It's a cheaper place to live (though, from what I've heard, not really all that cheap anymore), and it's not particularly picturesque or quaint. It's not in the mountains, either. It's the main town on the Great Sage Plain, an open, flat area along the Colorado-Utah border cut by deep canyons and used primarily for agriculture. The area to the north of Cortez near Dove Creek is particularly known for its beanfields.

Cortez is kind of an interesting town, in its way. I like it.

Thanks again for some great pictures of another Colorado town

Where are the pictures of Mancos at?

Mancos will have to wait for next time, I'm afraid.
