Getting to Crow Canyon
Directions
Driving Directions:
Crow Canyon is located about four miles northwest of the town of Cortez in southwestern Colorado. From the intersection of Highway 491 and County Road L northwest of Cortez, turn west on Road L. Drive about 1 mile to Road 23 (watch for Crow Canyon sign), and turn left. In about 1 mile, Road 23 curves sharply to the left and turns into Road K, which in turn becomes Crow Canyon's driveway. Free parking is available in our visitor parking area.
Traveling by Air:
The Durango–La Plata County Airport, located about 60 minutes from campus, is served by United Airlines via Denver and by American Airlines via Phoenix. If you fly into Durango, you may rent a car at the airport, or we will coordinate with you to arrange shuttle transportation (extra charge for airport pick-up and drop-off, $55 each way). Shuttle transportation will be available only on scheduled arrival and departure dates for the institute.
Alternatively, you may fly into the Cortez airport via Boutique Air, located 8.8 miles from Crow Canyon. We will provide shuttle transportation to and from the Cortez airport for an extra charge of $15 each way ($30 round-trip).
Other alternatives are to fly to Farmington, New Mexico (75 miles to Cortez), or Albuquerque, New Mexico (about a 5-hour drive to Cortez) and rent a car; Crow Canyon does not provide shuttle transportation to or from these airports.
