This particular trail head is located immediately adjacent to the first bridge crossing when coming west out of Gunnison. Parking is located at the top of the hill prior to the boat ramp (don't go down the ramp for parking). The trail is relatively easy...More

Another piece of art by Mother Nature

This is definitely a sight to admire, these pinnacles sculptured by wind and rain for millions of years are beautiful. Together with the reservoir below this makes a real work of art. There is a dedicated view point with tremendous views and a short explanation...More
