Federal lands comprise 85% of the Gunnison Valley. YOUR trails, rivers and public lands will be OPEN as the snow melts, but personnel cuts at the Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management and Park Service mean all of us will need to keep stewardship top of mind this summer. Pack out all trash, and be extra careful with fire. Together, we can keep our backcountry beautiful!
On this page you'll find seasonal trip reports, travel tips and local stories from the Gunnison Valley. It’s a great place to learn more about our region of Colorado as well as to find inspiration for your next adventure.
