About

Josho's is a 2.2-mile singletrack trail in the Hartman Rocks Recreation Area near Gunnison, Colorado, managed by the BLM. The trail features a mix of gradual climbs and fast, technical descents, with an elevation range of 8,043 to 8,357 feet. Access typically begins by climbing the 'Broken Shovel' trail to the south end of Hartman Rocks, then crossing the road to the signed Josho's trailhead. The route includes an initial half-mile climb followed by nearly a mile of swooping downhill before a short, steep climb back to Powerline Road. The surface is dirt, and the trail allows hiking, biking, dogs, and horses. Parking is available, and the trail is generally open from April through October.
