Just like a first date, there’s always a little apprehension when it comes to matching your favorite wine with a tasty meal.  Will the wine be too sweet or fall on the acidic side?  Will the food be bold and intense or light and easy?  The key is to make sure that neither party is aggressive or dominant.

Hidden among deep canyons at the western edge of the North Fork Valley lies The Gunnison Gorge National Conservation Area (NCA). The Gunnison Gorge is little sister to the mighty Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, just upstream, who’s imposing 2,000 foot vertical canyon walls create one of the most spectacular vantage points in the Western United States. As the Black Canyon, impenetrable to all but the most determined rock climbers, is a place to observe nature; the Gunnison Gorge is a place to play in it.  Read more...

Recognizing that there is a tremendous amount of talent and potential for creative industries to take a lead in our community’s social and economic development, in 2011 The North Fork Creative Collaborative (now known as the North Fork Creative Coalition) was formed.  In 2012, then Governor Hickenlooper declared the North Fork Valley an “Emerging Creative District” and little did he know how prophetic his choice would be.

No one likes road construction and when it involves a detour your impatience and frustration might be inclined to take over.  Over the next two years drivers headed West from Gunnison, CO along Hwy 50 will experience just such an inconvenience.  The Colorado Department of Transportation will be doing some much-needed work on an extremely narrow, winding section of road and will be detouring traffic over Highway 92 and into the North Fork Valley.
