Gunnison

The true Wild West! Gunnison County is a vast territory, from the sparkling blue waters of the Blue Mesa Reservoir to the highest peaks of the jaw-dropping West Elk Mountains. The beauty is unmatched by any other place in the region. Here are thriving towns, such as Gunnison, with college students attending Western Colorado University, and Crested Butte, offering world-class skiing and endless outdoor pastimes. Cruise over Kebler Pass and visit Lake Irwin (bring your dogs and paddleboards!). Taylor Park is another wondrous recreational area. As you wind through mountain roads, you’ll delight in beautiful aspen patches and busy wildlife. Speaking of wildlife, Gunnison County yields some of the best hunting and fishing in the state, from mule deer and elk to trophy trout and kokanee salmon. The possibilities know no bounds!
