About Gunnison (CO)
Gunnison's history is steeped in mining, ranching, and railroading, a legacy that shapes its resilient, independent character. Founded in the 1880s, it was a vital supply point for the surrounding silver mines and cattle ranches. Today, it retains its historic downtown core with brick buildings housing local businesses, while also being energized by the presence of Western Colorado University, which infuses the town with youthful vibrancy and cultural events. Gunnison is famous for its unparalleled access to outdoor recreation. It's the gateway to the Curecanti National Recreation Area and a stone's throw from the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. The city is renowned for world-class fly fishing on the Gold Medal waters of the Gunnison River, epic mountain biking and hiking trails, and some of Colorado's best snowmobiling and Nordic skiing in winter. The nearby Crested Butte Mountain Resort, a premier ski destination, is just a 30-minute drive away, making Gunnison a popular and more affordable lodging option for ski vacations.
