About

Jack's Trail is a short, accessible hiking route located in Hartman Rocks near Gunnison, Colorado. The trail begins at the main parking area, starting immediately next to pit toilets. It is a popular, multi-use path suitable for hiking, running, and mountain biking. The route climbs from the lower parking area to the top of a hill, offering views of local rock formations and the town of Gunnison. The terrain is characterized by sagebrush and lacks shade, so hikers should prepare for sun exposure. While some sources classify the difficulty as easy, others note it as moderate with a short climb. The trail is open year-round and connects to other variations and loops in the area.
