▶ Excellent elk and mule deer habitat; creek fishing throughout the valley

Planning Notes

CO-730 starts paved from Gunnison (8 mi south) and transitions to maintained gravel FS road. Road quality varies beyond the pavement — check with Gunnison RD. Carry water. Distinct from Taylor Park (east of Gunnison) — northwest drainage with different mountain character.
