Rattlesnake spur

About

Rattlesnake spur is a moderate mountain biking trail in Gunnison, Colorado, located within the Hartman Rocks trail network. The singletrack route spans approximately 1.2 miles with an elevation of roughly 7,705 to 8,288 feet. The trail offers a mix of smooth singletrack, dirt, and technical slickrock sections. Riders encounter steep inclines and declines, with rocky and sandy stretches requiring moderate technical skill. The trail is accessible from April through October, depending on snow conditions. Parking is available near the trailhead. The route is pet friendly. Evidence suggests riding from south to north provides a more favorable gradient, as the reverse direction involves climbing on almost the entire length. The trail is part of a larger network in Gunnison that includes over 145 miles of biking trails.
