Where is the marble quarry trail?

The quarry road is just off Gunnison County Road #3 in Marble Colorado.  Make a right (heading south) at the fire station and follow the quarry road for approximately 3 1/3 miles.   Marble blocks form a guard rail at the end of the quarry road, just before the public parking area to the left (east) of the active quarry's gate. 

A large vintage timber frame barn will be visible on the marble ridge with the marble rubble pile also visible further in the distance.

The Marble Quarry Trail

(the path not taken)

McIntyre v. Board of County Com'rs, Gunnison County, 86 P.3d 402 (Colo. March 15, 2004).  Link to the Colorado Supreme Court Opinion

 

Is this a private or public trail?

In 2004, the Colorado Supreme Court determined that the marble quarry trail on private land was not a public highway because Gunnison County took no action to claim a public right to it, for example, by doing maintenance or placing the footpath on its trail and road system.  Therefore, although many people may have used the trail in the past, the trail remains private.
