Naturita - Nucla Colorado Tourism

Naturita, population 650 and Nucla, population 750, is a scenic wonderland located in the west end of Montrose County. This area offers visitors the opportunity to enjoy great mountain biking, hiking, fishing, hunting, mountain climbing and a host of other outdoor activities.

Humans have populated this area for some 8,000 years. The ancients left Petroglyphs and Pictographs communicating and recording their lives. Occasionally a woman’s grinding stone may be found under a rock overhang. Sometimes wind and water expose a hunter’s projectile point.

Dinosaurs walked across this land when it was yet a flood plain leaving their tracks to bear witness to ancient life.

Nucla was founded in 1904. Naturita (Spanish for little nature) in 1881 by Pioneers traveling by wagon across the Uncompahgre Plateau which is now Hwy. 90.

Cattle and farming has and continues to play a part in the support of the area along with Uranium ore which was discovered in the early 1900’s.
