Gunnison

The Gunnison Area includes the very popular Hartman Rocks recreation use area just a few miles SW of Gunnison. It consists of 160 acres at the "Base Area" managed by the City and County of Gunnison as well as an adjacent 8,000 acres of federal land managed by the BLM. It's a paradise of desert mountain biking, hiking, motorcycling, rock climbing, horseback riding, trail running, and Nordic skiing. With miles of trails and roads maintained by the BLM and local Gunnison recreation groups, Hartman's is one of western Colorado's best kept secrets. With 40 miles of singletrack trails and 33 miles of road open to biking, beginning to advanced riders can find great trails to learn on. Newly added adaptive hand cycling trails and some wider single track trails provide great opportunities for hand cyclists who want to challenge themselves with fun berms and rollers. Hikers and trail runners can enjoy these same trails or branch out onto other trails.
