HARMEL'S ON THE TAYLOR RIVER
Harmel’s Ranch Resort spans just over 146-acres (+/-) along both banks of the Taylor River and is situated seven miles from Almont, Colorado in the highly coveted Taylor River Valley. From the property, Gunnison is located 16-miles south and the ski resort town of Crested Butte/Mt. Crested Butte about 16-miles to the north (via Jack’s Cabin Cutoff and State Highway 135). From the Front Range population centers of metro-Denver and Colorado Springs, the property is within an approximate 2.5-hour drive via Cottonwood Pass (set to reopen in late summary 2019) following paving operations. Harmel’s is located in the heart of the 1.672 million-acre Gunnison National Forest, which directly borders the property on the east and south. The surrounding area contains some of the most spectacular scenery and recreational amenities Colorado has to offer. The popularity of the Taylor River Valley continues to grow as evidenced by the number of up-scale and luxury subdivisions completed in recent years in concert with increased area tourism. Daily non-stop flights are available from Denver and Houston to the Gunnison-Crested Butte Airport year-round with Dallas added during the winter months.
RESORT
Harmel’s Ranch Resort has been operated by the same family since 1958 and is a fixture of the Taylor River Valley. Families have enjoyed the property for generations with the following of new guests increasing annually. The resort consists of 37 rustic, yet modern and fully furnished rental cabins (including basic appliances) that have been placed along the banks of the Taylor River. The cabins can accommodate combined occupancy of 150 guests. In addition, employee housing is fully contained on-site with portions recently remodeled. Harmel’s Stables is situated in the area recognized as the north pasture and contains a remuda of 40 trail horses that provide guests with the opportunity to see the Colorado back country at its finest. The Beaver Creek trail into Gunnison National Forest is accessible from the resort by a special use permit held by the current ownership (transferrable). The guest recreation room is located between the restaurant and reservation counter and provides wi-fi accessibility, billiards, games, business center and big screen tv seating area. Harmel’s Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner (menu or buffet) with an adjoining full-service saloon. Restaurant demand is serviced by a well-maintained commercial kitchen that includes walk-in freezer/coolers. A large deck extending just above the Taylor River at the rear of the restaurant and saloon provides the ideal outdoor dining and gathering experience. The general store and fly shop are stocked with basic merchandise, food and drink provisions, trout fishing supplies and provides anglers with daily updates on fishing conditions. Additional resort amenities and activities include; (2) stocked trout ponds, an outdoor heated pool and hot tub, sauna, kid’s playground and large barbeque area that hosts Thursday night cookouts. The resort also hosts weddings, family reunions, other group-style gatherings and accommodates guided river rafting, fly fishing and rock-climbing excursions. From the resort, there is easy nearby access to motorcycle, ATV, mountain biking and hiking trails. Colorado GMU 55 is also known for its Mule Deer, Elk and Moose hunting.
TAYLOR RIVER
The Taylor River originates high-up in the Elk Mountains just outside of the Maroon Bells Wilderness and flows along the west side of the Collegiate peaks before entering Taylor Park Reservoir. Taylor Park Dam, located at the south end of the reservoir, serves as the start of the tailwaters. The stretch immediately below the dam contains some of the largest rainbow trout at the statewide level with phenomenal fishing continuing all the way to the confluence of the Gunnison River and beyond. According to the owner, the approximate three-quarter mile stretch of the Taylor flowing through the resort has received a 16x Gold Medal rating from the State of Colorado. This portion of the river is also fed by the Spring Creek and Beaver Creek tributaries that flow down from the mountains to the north and south of the resort. Whitewater rafting and kayaking are also popular activities on the Taylor River. The 2,040-acre Taylor Park Reservoir just to the north offers the lake angler the chance of catching big Lake/Mackinaw, Brown, Rainbow and Cutbow Trout along with Kokanee Salmon and Northern Pike (Colorado Lake Trout record had been held by Taylor Park until 2007). Boat access is available at the Taylor Park marina.

Wikipedia:
Grand Junction is a home rule municipality that is the county seat and the most populous municipality of Mesa County, Colorado, United States. The city has a council–manager form of government, and is the most populous municipality in all of western Colorado.Grand Junction is 247 miles (398 km) west-southwest of the Colorado State Capitol in Denver. As of the 2010 census, the city's population was 58,566. Grand Junction is the 15th most populous city in the state of Colorado and the most populous city on the Colorado Western Slope. It is a major commercial and transportation hub within the large area between the Green River and the Continental Divide. It is the principal city of the Grand Junction Metropolitan Statistical Area, which had a population of 146,723 in 2010 census.
The city is along the Colorado River, at its confluence with the Gunnison River, which comes in from the south. Grand refers to the historical Grand River; it was renamed the Upper Colorado River in 1921. Junction refers to the confluence of the Colorado and Gunnison rivers. Grand Junction has been nicknamed River City. It is near the midpoint of a 30-mile (48 km) arcing valley, known as the Grand Valley; since the late 19th century it has been a major fruit-growing region. The valley was long occupied by the Ute people and earlier indigenous cultures. It was not settled by European-American farmers until the 1880s. Since the late 20th century, several wineries have been established in the area.
The Colorado National Monument, a unique series of canyons and mesas, overlooks the city on the west. Most of the area is surrounded by federal public lands managed by the US Bureau of Land Management. The Book Cliffs are a prominent series of cliffs that define the northern side of the Grand Valley. Interstate 70 connects the city eastward to Glenwood Springs and Denver and westward to Green River, Utah; Salt Lake City is reached to the west via Interstate 70 and U.S Route 6; and Las Vegas (via Interstate 70 and Interstate 15).
The Country Jam Ranch, near Grand Junction just north of I-70 at the Mack exit, is a permanent festival site built for music festivals, including Country Jam. This event has been held annually since 1992, drawing thousands of country music fans.
The Grand Junction area has developed as a mountain biking destination, with many bikers coming from the Front Range of Colorado, the Salt Lake City area, and as far away as California to enjoy the area's abundant single-track trails. Two prominent trails are the Tabeguache and Kokopelli trails, the latter running from near Loma to Moab, Utah. Fruita, Colorado, with its 18-Road trail system, is within 10 miles of the city and has become a major mountain biking destination.

Winter In Colorado
A wintry look at Colorado with snow covered, sub-zero frigid scenes of...
Gunnison River Valley - A memorable beautiful, breathtaking drive along the frozen Gunnison River and its lakes towards the Black Canyon.
Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park - Big enough to be overwhelming, still intimate enough to feel the pulse of time, Black Canyon of the Gunnison exposes you to some of the steepest cliffs, oldest rock, and craggiest spires in North America. With two million years to work, the Gunnison River, along with the forces of weathering, has sculpted this vertical wilderness of rock, water, and sky.
Mt. Crested Butte - One of Colorado's top rugged mountains great skiing. Being just three miles north of the historic, quaint town of Mt. Crested Butte (9,375 feet elevation) ... makes the Mt. Crested Butte area one of Colorado's best places to visit with a scenic drive from Gunnison 30 miles to its south and places beyond.
Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve - Snow covered look at the the tallest dunes in North America that are the centerpiece in a diverse landscape of grasslands, wetlands, conifer and aspen forests, alpine lakes, and tundra. The always open park and preserve's diversity can be experienced through hiking, sand sledding, seasonal splashing in Medano Creek, wildlife watching, and more!

Colorado Family Trip with Fall Colors // South Fork as Basecamp!
South Fork is a great basecamp that offers so many different adventures from rafting, fishing, side-by-side tours, waterfalls, mountain biking, golf, and more in the surrounding National Forest.
For parents, taking your family to the mountains gives you a chance to teach them about the land and how to respect it, and also lets your kids truly enjoy it. Nature is more than just hiking a trail, going out in an OHV, fly fishing or rafting - it’s the animals, the water, the sights, sounds, and smells — it’s everything all together. So, come stand in our whispering aspen groves, soak up the Colorado sunshine, and just breath.
LEARN MORE -
Experience something you truly get to be a part of, just sitting in a quiet space up here in the mountains - it’s a whole peacefulness that comes over you. South Fork’s unique because it’s a small location that gets you away from all the hustle-and-bustle and let’s you REALLY experience the mountains with your family. South Fork is quiet, not overwhelmed with people. You go a mile out of town in any direction and you’re pretty much by yourself. The uncluttered scenery is hard to beat, and hard to describe. We love the Fall Season because the weather is blissfully mild and the filtered sunshine paints color-bursting mountains.
