Where is Gateway, Colorado

Located in the heart of red rock canyon country of Western Colorado, this spectacular landscape, full of majestic buttes, mesas and winding canyon roads, has been the backdrop to countless car commercials reflecting the adventurous aspirations of the American car-buying public. Gateway, Colorado is a one hour southwesterly drive from Grand Junction on the Unaweep -Tabaguache Scenic and Historic Byway 141.

The Gateway Colorado Automobile Museum is part of Gateway Canyons, a new destination resort located in southwestern Mesa County featuring comfortable accommodations, innovative dining and outdoor adventures of all kinds.
