About

The Rocky Ridge Trail is a 1.3-mile hiking route in Gunnison, Colorado, sitting at 8,289 feet. It is generally considered moderate difficulty and takes about an hour to complete. Parking is available at the trailhead. The trail is accessible year-round but is likely snow-covered in winter, with summer and fall offering better conditions. OnX Maps notes that the trail connects well after a short ascent on Beck's, featuring a few short, harder sections at the start of the downhill when hiking north to south; otherwise, the trail is fast and nice. Trailforks lists a similar 'Rocky Ridge Multi Trail' nearby as a 1-mile black diamond singletrack with a 193-foot climb, but this description focuses on the specific hiking trail data.
