The week of July 22nd - going to the Gunnison/Crested Butte area. We have decided the campgrounds - see below. Of course, there are many hotels, Airbnb's etc to pick from so feel free to choose where you will stay!We will gather around dinner the evening on the 22nd for a pot luck and then will have a group hike on the 23rd. More information will be forthcoming! For those who are new to the club, we do those two activities together and then you are welcome to stay as long as you want to explore the area. We will have other activities to suggest so stay tuned!
We have picked out two places that we feel might accommodate folks for the summer trip. Of course you are not required to stay at these places and can pick any other option!!1. Tall Texan RV resort. This campground offers RV sites, a couple cabins, glamping and tent sites. It is 2 miles north of downtown Gunnison. This will probably have to be the site for the RV's as the other site only has 7 RV sites and only 1 available when we will be there.The phone # is 1-970-641-2927. I have only gotten a message but it states that for short stays booking online is the way to go. Please go to their web site for additional information.2. Three Rivers Resort and Outfitters. This place has many cabins for groups to stay and is located in Almont - a short distance from the campground.Phone # 1-888-761-3474. There is only 1 RV site available as of yesterday but many cabins. The cabins at this resort seemed a little bigger. Also go to their web site to reserve although I did talk to a live person there!!Of course there are lots of hotels and I'm sure Airbnb's to stay in. Should be a beautiful time of year to be there.Let me know if you have questions! Time to start planning!!! July will be here soon!Your summer committee!Kris, Howard, Bob and Sandy
