About

The Fort Uncompahgre Interpretive Center in Delta, Colorado, functions as both a historic replica of an 1820s fur trading post and a Public Lands Information Center. Located at 440 Palmer St near the confluence of the Gunnison and Uncompahgre Rivers, the site serves as a starting point for hiking on surrounding public lands. The trails are rated moderate difficulty, typically taking about two hours to complete, and the area sits at an elevation of 4,931 feet. The center provides parking and allows pets. It is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with winter hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The facility sells wood permits, park passes, and Christmas tree permits, and offers information on trail conditions.
