At approximately 9,000 feet in elevation, you're sure to enjoy 8.42 miles of beautifully groomed ski trails...many thanks to all of the volunteers of the Uncompahgre Nordic Association! Once you get up there you'll find ample parking for roughly 20 vehicles, so please park responsibly. This trail is open to snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, snowmobiles and even fat-tier biking! Furry pals are welcome, so grab some free "POO Bags" at the end of the parking lot to clean up after your pets. One of the things we really loved about this trail system were the numbered sign-posts (map included at each) and how well the trail was marked via bright orange tags along the way...no getting lost here! Can't go on without mentioning again what an awesome job the UNA does maintaining the trails! If you get an early start you're likely to hop on some freshly groomed corduroy! Seriously outdoor enthusiasts, you're gonna absolutely fall in love with this new trail system! It's da bomb! Be happy outside!

My mom will often do the running track while I finish homework near the fireplace. My son plays basketball with older kids while including smaller kids. The staff is friendly and helpful.

I am a 49 year old grandma that brought her grand sons here for a day of fun! I read the directions at each pool before entering and conveyed the rules to my grandchildren. However, for whatever reason, the high school life guards were on some sort of whistle blowing, rude remarking, roll. Not helpful but snarky. Not smiling but grimacing. Basically miserable! I've never yelped but felt the need. Now off to going back to swimming and hopefully not having the whistle blown in my face a nasty looks from a 16 year old girl.

Headed up to Dave Wood Winter Recreation Area today for some cross-country skiing…read more Felt kinda spoiled because just as we arrived around 1:15pm everyone was on their way out...so we literally had the trails all to ourselves! Speaking of trails, they have approximately 4.4 miles of beautiful and delicate slopes of the Uncompahgre Plateau. The trails appeared to be groomed and offer three levels of difficulty: Easiest, More Difficult and Most Difficult. There wasn't a whole lot of signage, so we just referred to our trusty map (see photo). The area is absolutely beautiful with breathtaking views of the Cimarron Range, Storm King, Grand Mesa and of course the Uncompahgre Valley. The trails offer an array of aspen and ponderosa pines as well as gamble oak and sagebrush in the lower elevations. Speaking of which...elevations range from 8,000 feet at the forest boundary to 8,400 feet at the highest point on the cross-country ski trail system. This is such a great place for the family and outdoor enthusiasts! Dogs are welcome but it is recommended that owner(s) maintain full control of their furry pals, so as not to cause any unforeseen hazards to other users. No permits are required and ample parking is free on either side of the trailhead. What else can I say but we LOVE this winter recreation area! Be Happy Outside!

This was the first overlook we encountered on our drive in the South Rim of Black Canyon of the…read moreGunnison National Park. Let me start by saying that I didn't have many expectations for my visit to this park. But after seeing the view from Tomichi Point, my initial expectations were completely shattered. Absolutely beautiful views of the canyons! You can either stop here for a simple beautiful view or jump into the Rim Rock Trail that goes through this overlook that connects the visitor center to the campground. I'd imagine when it's busy parking might become a bit more difficult. But we had no issues finding a place to park. There's going to be plenty of overlooks to experience while driving through the South Rim. But this is a great first stop because it really sets the tone for how the rest of your drive it going to go. Definitely stop by!

The hunting was poor, we had a guide and the only time I saw an Elk was when I went off on my own. The Game unit is very crowded lots of other hunters. All the hunting is done on public land. There is lots of cattle on the land as well. Like I said nice people, the hunt just wasn't what I hoped it would be. I understand you are not always going to get an Elk, but I thought with a guide I would have at least seen more. We did a base camp hunt, drop camp might be different.
