Trail Overview
The 7-mile Red Rocks- Night Horse trail is technical in parts but also a very flowy trail that follows the Western Ridge above the Gunnison Gorge topping out at 7,088 feet with spectacular views of the Gunnison River and up into the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. The views along this trail are nothing short of extraordinary. The trail itself offers some loose steep rocky terrain mixed in with some solid rock step-ups and downs with a lot of fast flow through the Juniper trees and Pinion Pines. The trail has a few bail-out spots. Bobcat Road, Duncan Road, and Dinosaur Road. But try your best to stick with this trail because the rewards are amazing!
