Camping in the Gunnison National Forest
Here is a great map I got from the Chamber in Gunnison. It clearly labels all the different camping options in the Gunnison National Forest. With this years change in the rules, dispersed camping is not allowed in much of the surrounding areas, so it makes sense to book your camping spot months in advance. This can be done online with the Gunnison National Forest. Enjoy and please remember, “Camp In and Camp Out.” Meaning whatever you bring into the forest please make sure to bring back out with you. Happy Camping!
Paradise Divide and Emerald Lake are Open
The views from Paradise Divide Pass are some of the best in all of Colorado. Located at the end of the valley, this glacial zone is expansive, as seen in the panoramic photo. Which encompasses the short version of our go to loop. After explore here, we recommend our customers go check out Emerald Lake, located past the townsite of Gothic. These are hands down my two favorite spots in the Crested Butte zone and in all of the Gunnison National Forest.
Green Means GO! Our Crested Butte Location is Now Open
We all have been waiting for this moment when we all can start living life again like we used too before the pandemic. Well that day has finally come, as Gunnison County’s corona meter has lowered to the green level which means masks are not needed in most situations. We have kicked off another season with a new member to the family named Maxine. She has brand new Bilstein shocks and 35” tires, making her a very capable Jeep. We love this time of year, as the grass and trees are turning green and the trails are opening up. Allowing for days of fun to be had in the Gunnison National Forest while renting a specialized Jeep.
