Come help the Uncompahgre Valley celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Gunnison Tunnel Opening! The tunnel, built in 1904-1909, supplies irrigation and domestic water for most of the Uncompahgre Valley, including the cities of Montrose, Olathe and Delta, and 80,000 acres of surrounding farmland.

The Gunnison Tunnel was the first project of the then newly created Bureau of Reclamation. Built at a cost of $5 million, the tunnel has been providing a significant return on investment for the past century. Don’t you think that deserves a whopping big party? We do, too! Come and help us celebrate!
