Gunnison Colorado Welcome to the beautiful Gunnison Country! Gunnison is close to the natural wonders of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison and Curecanti National Recreation Area.

Gunnison is a mountain community of 5,854 located in central Colorado, best known for being the home of Western State University and for its proximity to Crested Butte. Gunnison is served by the Gunnison Crested Butte Regional Airport, making it the connecting point for out of state skiers heading to and from Crested Butte. The Blue Mesa Resevoir provides boating and fishing opportunities to outdoor enthusiasts, while the annual Cattlemen's Days event attracts thousands each July.

A date that will forever be scarred into Crested Butte history.

Lear more about the events that took place 140 years ago in the north end of the valley.

This week marks the 140th anniversary of one of the most tragic events in Colorado history. The Crested Butte mine disaster occurred at approximately 7:30 a.m. on Thursday, January 24, 1884, leaving 59 men and boys dead, and many unanswered questions. Over the next few days, we'll take a look back at the disaster and pay tribute to those who perished working in the many mines in our region. ⛏

How did the mine come to be called "Jokerville"?
Why was John Anderson blamed for the disaster?
Why was black powder stored in the mine?
How many victims were related to one another?
Why were boys as young as age 12 working in the mine?
Who is John McNeil?
Was a Confederate war hero working in the mine under an assumed name?
Who were the Molly McGuires?

Follow our page for the answers to these and many other related questions! 🎩

Have you done the iOS 17 Update? Here's some important information!

⚠️ While there are many advantages to the iOS 17 update, there is one new feature and setting you should be aware of... ⚠️

NameDrop is a new feature that allows the sharing of information such as contacts and photos by just bringing two phones close together. Even with strangers!

Now, while this can be a handy new feature, it can also be worrisome. With the iOS 17 update, this feature is set to "ON" by default. Here's how you can turn it off:

⚠️

Go into your phone Settings > go to General > go to Airdrop > go to Bring Devices Together > change this setting to "OFF" ✅

Some of the other neat new features with iOS 17 include:

🔺 Check in when you're home safe
🔺 Set multiple timers
🔺 StandBy Mode transforms your iPhone
🔺 Go wild with stickers
🔺 Add video effects with gestures
🔺 Voicemails get visual
🔺 Group chats get better in Messages

⚠️ SCAM ALERT ⚠️They’re sure getting tricky… beware of this clever scam when you are traveling!

⚠️ SCAM ALERT ⚠️
They’re sure getting tricky… beware of this clever scam when you are traveling!

You arrive at your hotel and check in at the front desk. Typically when checking in, you give the front desk your credit card (for any charges to your room).

You go to your room and settle in. All is good.

The hotel receives a call and the caller asks for (as an example) room 620 - which happens to be your room.

The phone rings in your room. You answer and the person on the other end says the following: 'This is the front desk. When checking in, we came across a problem with your charge card information. Please re-read me your credit card number and verify the last 3 digits numbers at the reverse side of your charge card.'

Not thinking anything wrong, since the call seems to come from the front desk you oblige.
But actually, it is a scam by someone calling from outside the hotel.
They have asked for a random room number, then ask you for your credit card and address information.
They sound so professional, that you think you are talking to the front desk.

If you ever encounter this scenario on your travels, tell the caller that you will be down to the front desk to clear up any problems. Then, go to the front desk or call directly and ask if there was a problem.
If there was none, inform the manager of the hotel that someone tried to scam you of your credit card information, acting like a front desk employee.

ANYONE travelling should be aware of this one!
