Tucked into
the center of the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, framed by the grandeur
of the Continental Divide, the Town of Pitkin is part of Gunnison County
which stretches across nearly 2 million acres of spectacular countryside.
The area is unprecedented for unspoiled wilderness and alpine splendor.
National Forest land and recreation areas blanket close to 85% of the
county, providing a sanctuary for countless birds, animals and fish. Gunnison
County contains 14,000 foot mountain peaks, giant man-made reservoirs,
lots of sunshine, snowfall and friendly people.
