Description

Added by Dave Kozlowski

Just south of Gunnison, CO—a great spot for locals and visitors. Good for biking, climbing, hiking, cross country skiing, and running. 6,000 acres of BLM land. 60 miles of trails for every skill level.

Drive four miles south of Gunnison, Colorado and you'll find Hartman Rocks. Meet up with your friend at the parking lot at the base and head out with your bikes onto Jack's Trail, a singletrack trail that takes you onto the main routes through BLM land.

Kiosks throughout Hartman Rocks have maps where you can check where you are.

Hartman Rocks is a great day spot, but also a really fun place to camp during the warmer months.

There are so many campsites and activities to choose from making this a great place to stop by for a night or two. There are ample mountain biking and running trails as well as a few places to climb and rock crawl.

Whether you're mountain biking, hiking, or trail running, it's important to know where you are in Hartman Rocks. My 45 minute run turned into a 3+ hour run because I got disoriented in the back trails. Still a great place to explore in the Gunnison Valley!

Hike the Dillon Pinnacles Trail

The Dillon Pinnacles are a geologic phenomenon of southern Colorado. Volcanic eruptions formed the breccia rock into towering spires above the Sapinero Basin of Blue Mesa Reservoir. This packed dirt trail starts at about 7500 feet and climbs to a max elevation of 7800 feet. The four mile out-and-back path is a good choice for families looking for a day hike.Photo opportunities are everywhere al...

Roosevelt Mine

Abandoned in 1919, Roosevelt Mine is a lost treasure of Gunnison County, Colorado. Exactly three miles outside the tiny town of Ohio City is the unmarked trailhead on the side of a road pull off for Roosevelt the mine. The trail is otherwise well established and easy to follow. The trail is a little more than a half mile long and boasts amazing views of both the surrounding mountains and Quartz...

Photograph Sheep along Kebbler Pass

Fall time in Colorado is incredibly scenic, and if you drive up to Crested Butte, you may find herds of sheep being led down the mountains. Drive along Kebbler Pass in September and October, and look for these huge herds of sheep. Though it can be difficult to track them down, they make for amazing photos and a very rad experience! Border collies can be seen herding them across roads and slowly...

Drive Kebler Pass for Fall Colors

Kebler Pass, or Gunnison County Road (GCR) 12, is an excellent place to see fall colors in Colorado. You won't get nearly as much congestion as on Independence Pass in Aspen, but you get just as many yellow and amber leaves. The road is dirt but passable by any vehicle–although because it's at over 10,000 feet–it's closed in winter and can get extremely muddy if it snows or rains. The mud is sl...

Camp at Kebler Pass

Camping on Kebler Pass begins at around GPS: 38.89575, -107.214655. The pass is only available during the warmer summer months but is quite the treat. We went in August to catch an eclipse and the rolling free hills made it a great place to view from. You pass a reservoir on your way in where many were fishing and boating. The big draw of Kebler Pass is it's ability to make you feel like you'r...
