Gunnison is one of the most beautiful areas of the state. There are ample opportunities for fishing, hunting, camping, backpacking, hiking, snowmobiling, downhill and cross-country skiing, and just about every other outdoor sport you can imagine. There's a college there, and the population tends to be young and very outdoor oriented. The winters can be cold, but it's not an invasive cold since the humidity is so low. Even though the physical temperature is low, the bright sunshine keeps it bearable. You'll love it! Best of luck with your visa.
