About the neighborhood
This is a remote mountain stay along the Taylor River in Taylor Canyon, surrounded by steep forested slopes and the rugged scenery of the upper Gunnison Valley. County Road 742 follows the river north from Almont toward Taylor Park and Cottonwood Pass, with access to fishing, rafting, hiking, mountain biking, and off-road trails depending on season and conditions. The river is cold and fast-moving, so use care near the water and supervise children closely.
Almont is the nearest small community, at the junction of the Taylor and East Rivers. Gunnison and Crested Butte offer more restaurants, groceries, and services, but reaching them takes a drive. From Almont, Gunnison is about 10 miles south and Crested Butte about 18 miles north; this home is farther up County Road 742, so allow additional travel time.

Getting around
A vehicle is essential. The home is reached by County Road 742 from Almont, a remote mountain road that continues up Taylor Canyon. Plan ahead for fuel, groceries, and supplies, and download maps before leaving town. Cell service may be limited in the canyon.
Winter travel requires extra preparation. Snow and ice can change road conditions quickly; an AWD or 4WD vehicle with winter tires is strongly recommended when snow is possible. Cottonwood Pass is seasonal and closes for winter, so do not plan to use it as a through route. Check Gunnison County travel advisories and COtrip for current road conditions and closures before departure.
