Pitkin, Colorado is twenty-six miles northeast of Gunnison in the Colorado Rockies, nestled between 11,000 foot mountains and beside Quartz Creek. Choose your adventure. Any time of the year in Pitkin, each day is a new opportunity for things to do and places to explore!

    With pleasant lodging, Pitkin is the perfect all-season vacation base to hike, fish, camp, bike, Jeep, horseback ride, snowshoe, ski, or to relax and enjoy the spectacular scenery.  Autumn  mountain sides are ablaze with orange, gold, red and yellow aspens.

     In 2014 we will be celebrating Pitkin’s 135th anniversary! As part of the celebration, we would like to have a town flag. The Pitkin Historical Community Association (PHCA) is holding a contest for flag design and we encourage you to submit an entry.  Details...
 

Thanks to Matt Buchanan for these features
