The Gunnison National Forest borders this property on the East and West boundaries, and the main road providing access to the property leads to hiking trails to the North. Fun hikes to three mountain lakes are just out the back door. You have access to Mill Lake, Boulder Lake, and Lamphier Lake all within the Fossil Ridge Wilderness. Interested in Skiing? Snowmobiling?
