The Colorado County With A Long History Of Shutting Itself Off To A Pandemic

During the flu epidemic of 1918, the town of Gunnison, Colo. shut itself off from the world. Today, Gunnison County has been hit hard by the coronavirus, and is asking outsiders to stay away again.
Unfortunately… We are, per capita, the #6 leading county in the nation for COVID-19… So let’s just say what we did in 1918 has nothing to do with 2020 unfortunately
Cooler Friday but then warm and sunny.

From Gunnison Trails. The weather is warming and options for trails are limited but we need to be smart about this or the option could go away.Trail users, we've been hearing from a LOT of people out there that the Base Area at Hartman Rocks is busy (like there's no pandemic or social distancing measures busy) and that many of the restrictions currently in place for COVID-19 are being ignored. PLEASE, respect the current guidelines when out recreating: - Recreate ONLY with people you live with - NO group rides - Ride or run to the trailheads if you can. Consider parking in town and riding out to Hartmans, or come ready to ride and limit your time at the trailhead - Keep your distance when passing on the trails - users going uphill still have right of way - Ride within your limits and keep your speed in check We are unbelievably fortunate to have our local trails open and the ability to go out and enjoy our public lands during these stressful times. We're asking the trail community to do their part for the safety of the greater community. A wise friend of mine said to me "places like Walmart, Safeway and City Market have been deemed essential during this pandemic. Hartman Rocks is just as essential." We couldn't agree more.
