SaveLocated just northeast of Montrose, the Gunnison Gorge NCA encompasses 62,844 acres of BLM-managed lands that provide the ideal playground for outdoor adventurers of many persuasions.
The gorge boasts world-class Gold Medal trout fishing and is also a great place for challenging and remote whitewater rafting and kayaking. The river can be reached via four hiking trails, all of which can be accessed from Falcon Road.
The NCA also features hiking, biking, horseback riding and motorized sports adventures on primitive roads and trails that wind their way through adobe badland formations, scenic sandstone canyons and diverse native plant populations. The 20-mile single-track Sidewinder Trail snakes in and out of canyons and is an expert-level, technical trail for those on two wheels.
