About
Signal Peak Road is a hiking route located in Gunnison, Colorado, managed by the BLM Gunnison Field Office. The database lists the trail elevation at 7,710 feet with easy difficulty and available parking. Web sources describe the area as a 14,000-acre BLM-managed zone adjacent to the city and Western Colorado University. The terrain consists of rolling hills, sagebrush scrub, and hard-packed dirt. The route offers sweeping views of the Gunnison Valley and is suitable for hiking, mountain biking, and trail running. It is generally accessible year-round, though winter conditions may require snowshoes. Specific web reviews note the trail can be exposed to strong winds and tedious in sections, with a scramble required to reach the summit. Water is not explicitly confirmed as available on-trail, so hikers should bring their own.
