Hotchkiss Trip Overview
The Gunnison River is a sportsman’s and whitewater paddler’s paradise. The clear, cold waters of the Gunnison have been designated a Gold Medal Trout float fishery and its narrow river corridor creates exciting class III whitewater action that was included into the National Park System in 2003. It is a hidden jewel, off the beaten path, tucked deep in steep granite walls below the Black Canyon National Park, and this 2-day trip is a perfect way to experience it.
