Cortez Quilt Company is a must-see shop for any quilter visiting the Four Corners area. Our spacious, light filled store features a large selection of fabric with new merchandise arriving every week, quilt kits, books, patterns, notions, and finished quilts -- the perfect gift to take home from your vacation!
Visited this shop on our National Park Road Trip fall of 2019, on the way to Mexican Hat, Utah. Found some beautiful material with horses that I had not seen anywhere else. Upon purchasing the owners asked my daughter and I our traveling plans. We shared about our next stop at Mexican Hat and they told is since they could tell we loved horses, where to spot wild horses on our route. Thanks to them we did find the horses, which we would not have looked for without their hint. Talk about a friendly staff! I mention this store when I tell others of our trip and am finally taking the time to review.

Colorado Rock Shop - This is one of the largest and most well-stocked rock shops around. San Juan Gems has rocks of all kinds: rough rock, slabs, cabs, minerals, specimens, collector’s items. This rock shop has been called a museum by many who come here to browse, find that perfect gift, or pick up rock and cutting supplies. Known for our great service, we stock or have access to most everything that a person interested in lapidary work, silver or goldsmithing, panning, rock hunting, carving, or just collecting might need. You can trust us to locate parts and offer advice on rock cutting, polishing, and metalsmithing. We have an online rock shop as well that is being added to continually. Located in Cortez, Colorado, we have a retail store stocked with a huge inventory of just about anything one would want relating to rocks.
I'm a rockhound and on our family vacations, will hunt around to find local gem and mineral stores to check out. We stumbled across this one and I am so glad we made the time to visit. This place is a rockhound paradise. The owner's a really nice older gentleman who graciously showed us around the shop with finished goods as well as the side yard where he had tons of material piled around. It took a supreme effort NOT to limit out my credit card at his shop! I appreciate TA's question about whether or not this place is budget-friendly ... the prices are definitely budget friendly - unless you're like me and that quickly turns into "... wait, I can buy MORE...". If you're in the area, stop by. Or even in south western Colorado, go out of your way and make the visits. This place rivals Consolidated Rock and Mineral over in Vacaville CA for overall selection and just plain "awesomeness". I could have spent hours here were it not for closing time approaching and my family wanting to get dinner, LOL!

Cultural center that includes interpretive exhibits on Ancestral Puebloans (Anasazi), local history, works by local artists, and a gift shop featuring items made by local and native artisans. Free Native American dance performances Monday through Saturday evenings at 7 pm in the summer months.
We heard Sam Sandoval speak here about his experience as a World War II Navajo Codetalker. It was an unbelievable experience and we appreciate them setting up such events. He signed his book for us and spent time after the lecture. He is one of only a very few Codetalkers left on earth and lives in nearby Shiprock, NM. Look around the museum area for local artist creations and see the nightly Indian Dances just outside the center.

The Cortez Welcome Center is open! Come see us! Need some fresh air? This is the place to do it! Pick up brochures on hiking the Canyon of the Ancients, visiting Mesa Verde National Park or Hovenweep! We have great information for you to bike through Phil's World, and fish McPhee Reservoir or the Dolores River! Cortez is centrally located near the Four Corners, so it's a great place to stay while you venture out to other sights in Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona! Our restaurants are open and the weather is great! The health and safety of our visitors is important to us, and we strive to ensure our Welcome Center is clean and that you feel comfortable visiting our facility.
The film was excellent as was the multiple displays in the museum. Ranger was very helpful. Well worth the stop.

I've been collecting Native American jewelry and art for over a decade. My eye first developed in expensive Santa Fe, and then I discovered Gallup, NM and focused my shopping there for many years. But just in the last two years I have discovered Notah Dineh, and now it is my preferred place to go. You can buy reasonably priced gorgeous investment pieces, as well as lower priced gifts for friends and souvenirs for the kids. The staff is first-rate, very knowledgeable and no pressure. I go to Colorado about four times a year and I always make sure I pass through Cortez on any day but a Sunday (when Notah Dineh is closed) and I arrange my itinerary to give myself at least an hour here. I was just there last week and scored three sterling charming pendants and a necklace for my daughter's birthday, and two nice heavy sterling pendants for myself. I really love the vibe of this place and visiting here is often the highlight of the entire trip.
