High Country Conservation Advocates invites you meet their new Advocacy Director, Jon Hare, at HCCA Happy Hour on Thursday, April 11. Join HCCA at the Eldo, from 5 to 7 pm for fun conversation. Jon is leading HCCA on its continuing mission of protecting the future of the public lands we all love, right here in the Gunnison Valley. Come on out!
Gunnison Valley is also host to several beloved annual events. A classic winter event is The Alley Loop, a Nordic ski race that doubles as a costume contest. In fall, Mt. Crested Butte hosts the famous Chili and Beer Festival. Every summer in Gunnison, a crowd gathers to watch America’s fourth-oldest rodeo, Cattlemen’s Days. There are also festivals in Crested Butte that celebrate local art, music, wildflowers, and more. Attending an annual event is a good way to connect with the culture of the Gunnison Valley. You might even create a new tradition for you and your family and friends!
