Situated on Colorado’s Western Slope, Gateway is a tiny unincorporated community. The town lies an hour southwest of Grand Junction.

There’s a post office in town, operating since 1903, with a zip code 81522. Gateway was probably named for a rock formation, which existed by the original townsite nearby. The town resides in Mesa County along the Unaweep Tabeguache Byway (Highway 141).
