Trail Overview

Graceland starts out on the east side as fast and flowy through a valley of sage brush, below a hillside covered in rock boulders and rock walls. It goes through a scenic section of birch trees and is a bit shelfy above a ravine. Watch out for whoops and dips when you're going fast through the first couple of miles. It's pretty flat, with very gradual curves and climbs, curving around the small hills. The second half gets a bit harder, with some rockier sections. One section has bigger rocks on a hill climb, and one is a larger rock slab ramp with ledges up to a foot tall. It gets curvier as you go west as well. It passes a couple of intersections that you can take to loop back to the beginning of Graceland, or you can take it down to connect to Gateway, which is similar difficulty.

Difficulty

The majority of the trail is a 3 difficulty, but there is one larger rock slab feature that makes it more of a 4, as it has some moderate-sized ledges up to a foot tall. Overall the trail would probably still be easy enough for a beginner even if this one spot would be a bit more challenging.

Access Description

The Hartman Rocks Recreation Area, in Gunnison, Colorado, has about 50 miles of singletracks ranging from easy to advanced. It's a high-traffic area, and the trails are multi-use with mountain bikers and hikers. There is a large Day Use parking area at the entrance to Kill Hill Road, and there are 50 dry/primitive designated camping spots within the recreation area. There is decent Verizon cell signal throughout the rec area. It can get pretty hot here in the summer. The trails are typically closed during the mud season to protect the routes as they dry out but are typically opened around May each year. Trails south of the Powerline Road are closed March 15 - May 15 for sage grouse conservation. The area is very well marked and maintained, with trail markers and difficulty levels indicated at the entrance to every trail.
