Somerset offers a rare mix of river-valley calm and mountain-scale adventure along CO‑133 in Gunnison County. Weekends here practically plan themselves: paddle or fish at Paonia State Park, wander wildflower meadows in the Raggeds Wilderness, or roam the aspen and spruce of the Gunnison National Forest. Scenic drives on the West Elk Loop Scenic Byway crest McClure Pass to views that make you stop and stare, with easy connections to the galleries and eateries of Carbondale.
Daily life leans practical and personable. Farm stands and small businesses in nearby Paonia and Hotchkiss keep pantries full and calendars busy, while schooling is served by the Delta County School District 50J and its consolidated North Fork High School. When summer heat arrives, locals cool off by boating or picnicking at Crawford State Park, a quick, scenic drive away.
Housing spans classic miner cottages, river-adjacent parcels, and acreage properties with room for gardens, animals, and gear. Whether you’re relocating for elbow room, trail access, or a slower pace between workdays, Somerset rewards with clear-night skies and a community that still waves from the wheel.
