Gunnison

Tucked along the Gunnison River in Colorado’s high Gunnison Valley, Gunnison is a place whose character is shaped by altitude, long winters and an open basin enclosed by mountain country. Tomichi Creek joins the river in town before it continues west toward the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. Founded in 1876 during Colorado’s mining boom, Gunnison is now the county seat and home to Western Colorado University, established in 1901. US Highway 50 links the town with Curecanti National Recreation Area and Blue Mesa Reservoir, extending the valley’s route westward.
