Hartman’s Rocks Dispersed Site

About

Bureau of Land Management

Hartman Rocks is a popular mountain bike area just a few miles southwest of Gunnison, Colorado, providing a true backyard to backcountry riding experience. Trails within this system provide a range of opportunities for all skill levels. There are plenty of natural technical slickrock features intermixed with traditional single track trails and natural surface roads. All trails, except a few serious downhill trails, provide for two way traffic creating a new experience each time you ride. Views at Hartman Rocks are spectacular especially during sunrise and sunset with the Gunnison Basin to the North and the San Juan Mountains to the south.

Roads and trails are closed south of the Powerline Road from March 15-May 15 for Gunnison Sage-grouse conservation.

One of the Bureau of Land Management's "Backyard to Backcountry" treasures, information on the Hartman Rocks Trail was developed between IMBA and the Gunnison, CO, BLM office to provide world-class riding experiences. IMBA's data on the trail includes elevations, ratings, current conditions, photos, and comments.

Beautiful, lots of sites, busy

Spent a night on a nice weekend in late April. Lots of sites, though had to drive around a bit to find one. No one camped in the two spots next to us, so I imagine it gets a lot noisier in the summer. Wide open spaces, cool rocks. A couple vault toilets here and there. lots of ohvs cruising around.

Surface of the moon

There are lots of spots to camp and cool areas to hike, UTV and mountain bike. Not too far out of town either.

Lots of campsites but far apart

It took a lot of driving to find a campsite open. Midweek on September 20. Not that there aren't a lot of sites, you just have to do a lot of driving. If you arrive at dusk, watch out for bikes and dirtbikes without lights.
