State Highway 141 is a 159.7 mi (257 km) long state highway in far western Colorado. Though nominally oriented north-south, SH 141 winds around a considerable amount due to the rugged terrain and ultimately forms a giant S shape. Beginning from its southern end near the town of Dove Creek, the road passes through some very remote and sparsely populated areas with Naturita, home to fewer than 500 people, being the largest town along almost its entire length until the road arrives at the Grand Junction area at its northern end. A small portion of SH 141 overlaps with US 50 about ten miles southeast of Grand Junction.
