Cimarron is also a starting point for the adventurous souls who wish to tackle the challenging routes of the Alpine Loop Backcountry Byway. This 4x4 trail connects the towns of Ouray, Silverton, and Lake City, passing by ghost towns and offering some of the most spectacular mountain scenery in the state.

Cimarron, Colorado, nestled in the heart of the San Juan Mountains, offers a serene escape into nature. This small, historic town is not as widely known as some of Colorado's larger destinations, but it provides a unique charm and access to the great outdoors that many travelers seek. Arriving in Cimarron typically involves a scenic drive, as the closest major airports are in Montrose and Gunnison, both about a 1.5 to 2-hour drive away. These airports offer regional flights and seasonal services to larger hubs. For those coming from further afield, flying into Denver International Airport and renting a car for the picturesque 5-hour drive may be the best option. Driving remains the most common and practical way to reach and explore Cimarron, as public transportation options are limited in this rural area. The freedom of a car allows visitors to explore the surrounding wilderness areas, including the nearby Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park and the expansive Uncompahgre National Forest. Within Cimarron itself, the town is small enough that it can be quite walkable for the typical visitor. Strolling through the town, one can enjoy the historic buildings and local shops that hark back to the town's roots in the Old West. However, to truly experience the natural beauty of the region, having access to a vehicle is essential. This is especially true for outdoor enthusiasts looking to hike, fish, or camp in the more remote areas that are only accessible by forest service roads. For those who prefer not to drive, there are limited shuttle services that can be arranged from the airports or nearby towns, but these need to be booked in advance and may not offer the flexibility desired for a more exploratory visit. In summary, while Cimarron's remote location means that getting there and around requires some planning, the town's accessibility by car and its proximity to some of Colorado's most stunning natural landscapes make it a rewarding destination for those looking to immerse themselves in the tranquility and beauty of the mountains.
