Description

Signal Peak is located northeast of Gunnison, Colorado, in an area with plenty of hiking, mountain biking, and jeep trails near Western Colorado University.  I was working in the area and took this particular evening to hike to the peak using the Cranor Hill and Ridgeline Trails.  The statistics were perfect for the amount of time and sunlight I had available.
