About

Swoosh is a 0.5-mile hiking trail near Gunnison, Colorado, located in the Hartman Rocks area. The route is classified as difficult and sits at an elevation of 7,951 feet. Despite its short length, the difficult rating suggests steep inclines or uneven terrain that may require more effort than the distance implies. The trail is accessible year-round, from January through December, and parking is available at the trailhead. While specific water sources are not documented for this particular trail, hikers should note that drinking water is generally unavailable in the broader Gunnison area from late fall through mid-spring. The trail allows dogs, though their behavior is not strictly regulated in available records. Recent reports indicate a Critical Gold Mountain Fire with evacuation orders in effect for GO zones, so hikers should verify current conditions before departing.
