Perks of the Gunnison Valley
"The Gunnison Valley is famous for both summer and winter outdoor recreation. In summer, explore the two million acres of public lands by hiking and mountain biking. In winter, alpine skiing at Crested Butte Mountain Resort is unmatched. There are dozens of miles of scenic cross-country ski trails, too. You’ll find great restaurants, shopping, arts, and events in the valley’s unique mountain towns" For more information on what the valley offers, visit the Gunnison & Crested Butte website here.
