It may be fall but...\
The mornings are crisper, the skies are bluer, and "fall" is definitly in the air.
Our abundant early autumn rains put a slight damper on the glorious golden
and red aspen leaves we typically enjoy but it is still more than worthwhile to get out and enjoy the Gunnison Valley.
Walking, hiking and biking are superb on the VanTuyl Ranch trails or at Hartman Rocks south of town. The cool fall air is invigorating as you pedal your way through the granite boulders lining the bike and hiking trails. And those pesky summer mosquitos are but a vague memory.
Although the seasonal low water levels in the Gunnison River make kayaking and rafting more challenging at this time of year, fishing is still in full swing. There's nothing like casting a hand-tied fly out over the riffles in pursuit of the whily rainbow trout. Or just dangle your feel in the cool water, find your zen-center, and watch the golden leaves raft their way down river to Blue Meas Reservoir.
You can hike, road bike, mountain bike, rock climb or just enjoy the great outdoors in a serene moment. When evening stars to fall, head indoors at the Gunnison Community Center for swimming, sliding down the water slides, climbing on the indoor wall, play basketball in the gym or challenge the kids or friends to a game of pool in the game room.
If you can't wait for winter, get acclimatized by strapping on your ice skates and playing hockey or practice your sitz spins at the indoor Jorgensen Ice Rink.
Bottom line, there's lots to do in the fall in Gunnison - your Base Camp to the Rocky Mountains!
