Sure, diamonds are "a girl's best friend"…but experiences are the new diamonds. Are you looking for something for romantic to do this Valentine's Day? Or maybe just ideas to use throughout the year (because, let's be honest, you can't save romance for one day a year!). Montrose Ford Nissan has some ideas to spark some romance and set the mood. (Note: None of these is an endorsement; just some fun ideas. You will leave our website if you click on the links below.)
- A kayak tour on Blue Mesa or one of the other reservoirs nearby. Maybe talk to the folks at Montrose Kayak for some ideas. Or try Step Outside for where to paddle out.Â
- How about that old standby: take in a movie?! The Fox Cinema Center is a classic, intimate movie house. And for the warmer months, check into the Star Drive In for a good old fashioned date night.
- There is nothing more romantic than a horse back ride (until you're sore bum the next day), so how about a guided tour! Visit Montrose has some resources.
- A stroll through the garden is surely one of the best romantic afternoons one can spend. The Montrose Botanic Gardens is one spot .
- Of course, some consider a hike through nature's own garden the most romantic of all: Uncompahgre National Forest or visit one of the local Forest Service Offices: Colorado State or Grand Mesa Uncompahgre and Gunnison USFS Offices.
- If you aren't a morning person, a sunrise balloon ride might make you one. You can experience a romantic, sunrise balloon ride right here in Montrose and the nearby area. Many balloon adventures operate only May - September; but a quick search might reveal some Valentine's rides: Google Search [Not an endorsement]
- Take your special someone around Montrose for stroll through the cute shops, restaurants and hidden gems around town. (Weather permitting, certainly). Visit Montrose has some notes.
