Area Attractions

Fishing
The Gunnison Valley is home to Colorado's largest lake, Blue Mesa, and boasts trophy fishing for mackinaw. Blue Mesa is also known for a variety of other trout, including rainbows and browns. Kokanee Salmon are a popular fish for this lake, and snagging season brings many people to try and snatch their share before they make their way back to the Roaring Judy Fish Hatchery.

The Gunnison River is a popular haven for fly fisherman and spinners alike. Be sure to review local fishing regulations, as some areas have different limits.

Day Hikes
Our resort is centrally located to a plethora of great hiking trails. From the casual sightseer to the avid outdoorsman, there's an exciting trail for everyone. Trails range form 2 minutes to 2 hours from our park, and are anywhere from 1 1/2 miles to 15+ miles round-trip. Hartman Rocks alone is home to some 23 trails.

Rafting
We have some great rapids on the Gunnison River, and several guides would be happy to share them with you. The Whitewater park in town is a great starting place for the novice, and is quick and convenient to get to.

Golf
1 1/2 miles East of the park is Dos Rios Golf Club. Check schedule, as public tee times vary.

45 minutes to Crested Butte is Crested Butte Country Club. Again, check their schedule, as tee times vary.

Scenic/4WD
Now this is what Gunnison County is all about! Kebler Pass is a beautiful pass that can be accessed by way of Crested Butte.


IIce Lake


Cottonwood Pass is past Taylor Park, and will take you over timberline as you descend into Buena Vista, and make the loop back around over Monarch Pass and into Gunnison.

For some rough 4WD action, try the road to Alpine Tunnel, assessable near Pitkin, but really, really rough!

Biking
Visit Hartman Rocks Recreation area for some serious hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking. There is even a back road to the area from
our end of town.

Day Trips
Lake City, put on the map by the infamous Alfred Packer, is a beautiful day trip for any occasion. We are a mere 45 minutes from one of the best ski resorts in the country. Although we don't recommend skiing Crested Butte with no snow, you can ride the lift to the top of Mount Crested Butte for astounding mountain views this summer! Don't forget your walking shoes for downtown shopping, and of course, Peanut Lake.
