Gunnison Camping

[Colin]

Looking for trails with close camping in proximity to Gunnison. With gas prices this summer I'd like to stay relatively close.

Ones I know of are:

CR38 past hartmans rocks, goes into Saguache county.

Ohio Creek just north of town.

Paradise Divide, devils punchbowl, lead king basin, schofield pass area out of CB.

The more tree cover the better.

What else? Bauer, Oscar?

East Elk Creek, Razor Creek, Lands End (state wildlife area across from Coopers ranch turn right before you cross the creek follow road to end.). Up towards Gunsight pass, bunch of stuff up by CB, Out by spring creek res, One mile, so many places I have forgotten the name of.


Middle Quartz creek out on the old stage road, Flat top and Red Moutain up Henckle(sp) Road. I'll think of some more

Don't ask me I was scared to show my face in Gunnison kept hearing Banjo music

Little ways away, but I love above Tin Cup. Lots of areas to explore and you can drive up and check out the West end of the Alpine Tunnel.

Go up Gothic Road out of Crested Butte, there are lots of places to put up a tent. Eventually you will hit the Devil's Punchbowl trail.
