Gunnison County is located in the mountainous area of central Colorado. Absolutely beautiful countryside with a shortage of people (just the way I like it). Lots of BLM and National Forest with some great skiing at Mt. Crested Butte. Just be careful of the traffic on US 50 in mid-summer. And if you want a hotel room in Gunnison in the summertime, book it well in advance.
