I think the locals pronounce it “your-ray,” which I found interesting.

City law enforcement officer Tony Schmidt said on Monday alone, he responded to eight bear incidents around town, adding there is not much he can do about the bears unless they pose an imminent threat to the safety of a person.

“Last year we were using rubber bullets but the Division of Wildlife told us not to use them,” he said.

“All we can do is honk our horns or throw rocks, and within five minutes they come right back.”

Schmidt said that citizens who are having bear problems need to contact the Colorado Division of Wildlife’s district wildlife manager Kelly Crane. She is based in Montrose; her number is 240-9575.

You are right about the pronunciation, it is also the town Ayn Rand visited and came up with the idea for Galt's Gulch in her novel "Atlas Shrugged."

The town was named after a Ute chief.

Actually more like “you-ray.” Depending, I guess, on how you pronounce “your.”
