I only shopped at the feed store while passing through town. However, I'm extremely particular about dog food ingredient and sourcing. The folks here were extremely helpful and the woman even found a phone number for one of the food manufacturers, called them up, and got us straight answer about where the ingredients were from. This was super helpful. I'll get dog food here again next month before I leave.

This is a darling place. Cozy clean rooms and wonderful location in the heart of town. In the North Fork Valleys highest elevation of the three towns that make up the area. Crawford location is really close to the North Rim of the Black Canyon. The owner’s are amazing. This place is so much more than a hotel.

What a diamond in ruff! This little hotel is everything you need! From the moment you meet Cheri, until check out, things were great. Clean! Simple! Everything you need. (Except maybe a hair dryer!) I can’t say enough positives! Parking is behind the hotel with easy access to rooms! Close to Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP. Comfy beds, hot shower and close to the best food in Colorado at the North Fork Boardwalk Restaurant! Loved it!

Our family was in the area camping and we stopped in to use their facilities to take showers. The owners were very friendly and we enjoyed speaking with then. The shower rooms were very clean and included a sink vanity with mirror, toilet, and shower with great pressure. We were each provided a towel, wash cloth, and shower mat. Soap/shampoo was also provided inside the shower. We paid $9 each, which is very reasonable. The store has about any supplies you need for an outdoor adventure. We bought a couple of things and prices were very reasonable. We will be back in the area this fall and will definitely be stopping back in.

This hotel is a GEM in the midst of the mountains & not far from the North Rim of the Black Canyon. Cherri is the BEST host, as far as making sure you're comfortable & informed about location details. With the Black Canyon fires, she called to be sure we knew & offered option to cancel. The BIG ROOM with kitchen could sleep 6. Had 2 bedrooms & a living room. Everything was VERY CLEAN. Toiletries were included, the simple basics of any hotel. Beds were very comfy. Linens were good quality. The porch setting for sitting out & playing games or just chatting & watching the sunset was an AMAZING setting. Laundromat downstairs is AWESOME. Big & lots of machines. The hardware store is well stocked & more CLEAN & ORGANIZED than any hardware store we've ever been into. The town of Crawford is ADORABLE & had a few lil shops & restaurants. We ate dinner & had breakfast at the bug restaurant down the street. Judy (restaurant owner) was so sweet & accommodating. Most definitely would recommend anyone to stay at The Hitching Post if you're passing through this area or coming to visit the Black Canyon. Unfortunately, we missed seeing the Canyon from the park, but... The DRIVE up Hwy 92 was one of the BEST VIEWS ever. We were pulling a LONG Trailer & didn't have any trouble at all on Hwy 92. (53' trailer) We did ride Side by Sides in the area some. It's nice that you can ride out from town, but the CO TREX App doesn't have trails showing near Needle Rock. We discovered one, but apparently there are lots more. The hotel does also have WIFI. Which allows ya phone service.
