Gunnison is Colorado's great outdoors

The recipe for adventure couldn't be better – there’s the serrated tops of the Sawtooth Mountain, the roaring whitewater of the Gunnison River, the rock-ribbed walls of the Black Canyon, the colossal widths of Gunnison Gorge, the alpine ski fields of Crested Butte, the tabletops of the Grand Mesa – the list goes on. There are few places in America with such a line-up of adrenaline-pumping activities and breathtaking highland vistas as this. Book your Gunnison vacation rentals to break out into the vast Colorado outdoors this year…

Things to do

Wonder at the majesty of the Rockies in Gunnison

Gunnison's treasures rise and fall all around the town center. It’s hard to miss the great peaks of Mount Baldy and Fairview soaring on the horizon, and you're sure to pass the Blue Mesa Reservoir on your way into town – a summertime mecca for sailors and water skiers. But that's just a taster because the Crested Butte Mountain Resort also hides in these hills, touting speedy black runs and meandering, tree-lined blues alike. And the iconic Grand Mesa looms just to the north, complete with carved plateaus and scenic byways by the bucket load.
