Located just south-west of the town of Gunnison, Hartman Rocks Recreation Area consists of over 8,000 acres for outdoor activities. Named for the Hartman Family, an early pioneer family, the recreation area is a partnership between the City and County of Gunnison and the Bureau of Land Management. The recreation area is multi-use:

  • Rock Climbing (177 Routes)
  • Mountain Biking (45 miles single track, 45 miles double track)
  • Hiking
  • Camping (permitted at established fire rings)
  • Horseback Riding
  • Off-highway Vehicles (45 miles of trails, 45 miles of road)
  • Cross Country Skiing (16 miles of groomed trail)

Access from Highway 50: turn south on West Airport Road (County Road 38) for 2.5 miles to the Parking Area.

Because of the close proximity of the climbing areas to one another, check the map for locations.
