Get Out & Hike!!
For those who are able, our longtime hike leader, Jim Gazzoli, is leading high elevation hikes on Saturdays through the summer and into the fall. High elevation acclimation and some moderate to difficult hiking experience is beneficial for these hikes - please assess your abilities well!! (NOTE: We are trying to schedule low elevation hikes as well.)
Upcoming HIkes:
  • Aug. 1st:  Summerville Trail (Taylor Canyon)
  • Aug. 8: Gold Creek Trail to summit
Look for individual notices for these hikes to sign up!! We are still limited in number of attendees (10 max), but are now offering first dibs on the following week's hike to anyone who may be wait-listed on any given hike.

DANCE YOUR HEART OUT!!
The Gunnison Arts Center & Center for Mental Health are collaborating to bring you programs addressing feelings you may be having as a result of isolation, social distancing and the presence of the current pandemic. 

In this class students will explore emotion through movement. Learn to express yourself and release your feelings in a nonjudgmental environment through a choreographed series of movements and fun activities. We'll explore different dance inspired exercises that help you become more in tune with your inner self. No dance experience required. This is a great class for all ages, parents and kids, partners, friends or to explore by yourself. Classes held safely in person in the GAC Dance Studio. Sign up for just one session or join us for all three!
