Close Call in Gunnison Red Rock Canyon, Colorado

Notice: Viewers are requested to refrain from posting comments regarding stream destroying, hot spotting or fish handling techniques. Violators will be permanently muted. See www.coppersmit... for further explanation.
The Red Rock Canyon of the Gunnison River offers great fishing for large trout. You need a wilderness permit to access it and these are difficult to obtain. It is a dangerous hike of 3.5 miles and 1,300' elevation drop to get there. Don't believe the Nation Park Service: There is always a trail and you must find and follow it or you will get stuck or worse. GPS also works and I advise turning it on during the hike in so you can leave a trail marker that may be helpful on your way back out. For addition information see: www.nps.gov/bl...
