Gunnison Gorge National Conservation Area Information:
 One of the most remote river experiences in Colorado is floating through Gunnison Gorge Wilderness Study Area. Access to the river can only be gained by foot or on horseback via one of four trails 1-5 miles long, and over steep gradients. The scenic gorge and its abundant wildlife are the major attractions, as well as the lure of designated Gold Medal Waters providing trophy trout fishing. Many challenging rapids range from Classes II-IV. The trip is 14 miles and can be made in a one or two-day trip. A limited number of campsites are available along the river.
This segment of the Gunnison has been recommended for Wild and Scenic River designation. The Gorge is a BLM Wilderness Study Area and is being recommended for formal designation.
