Paonia and Beyond

The Local Nomad is located right in the heart of downtown Paonia—a vibrant little town with a big spirit.

Paonia may have fewer than 2,000 residents, but it’s buzzing with live music, art openings, weekly happenings, and seasonal festivals. Nestled in the North Fork Valley along the West Elk Loop Scenic Byway, it’s the perfect base for exploring Colorado’s Western Slope—home to organic farms, vineyards, galleries, parks, trails, and small-town charm. We’re located on the Colorado Creative Corridor and within the West Elks wine region.

Just a short walk brings you to boutique shops, art galleries, great local dining, a nonprofit theater, yoga and fitness studios, and wellness offerings.

Within a 10-minute drive, you’ll find award-winning wineries, orchards, farm stands, and mountain biking trails.

And if you’re up for a bigger adventure, Grand Mesa, Black Canyon of the Gunnison, and mountain towns like Aspen, Carbondale, and Crested Butte are all within two hours—along with easy connections to Moab, Telluride, and Durango.
