Black Bear Antiques is pretty difficult to find, but definitely worth it. The old codger who runs this place really knows his stuff and has quite a bit of mining memorabilia, vaseline glass, furniture, prints & photos, primitives... and he haggles! Look at their website for an idea of what they carry: http://blackbearantiques.com/ Call ahead (970) 249-5738 for directions or stop by AA Antiques and they'll give you a map. Better yet, print one off Google Maps. read more

Definitely worth the detour, a nice selection of vintage dishes and glassware on the owner's farm. Stop at AA Antiques and pickup a map first, as Black Bear is a fairly remote location, about 3 miles off the highway. read more

The proprietaries of this antique business are two of the nicest folks you'll ever meet. They have an eclectic collection of antiques, collectibles and memorabilia and love to share their knowledge and history with visitors. A short drive out of Montrose but worth it....they and their fun shop are the real deal!! read more
