Picture it: The Collegiate Peaks towering above and the clear blue sky reflecting on the calm waters of Taylor Park Reservoir. This will be our first year in Gunnison National Forest north of Gunnison, CO. Elevation on the course will range between 9,000 ft and 11,500 ft. Be prepared for tough climbs as your team navigates the trails just below tree line. This course will be mountainous with travel on both single track and forest service roads. Prepare for the thin mountain air and beautiful vistas.
