Cement Creek Rd.

Cement Creek Road runs through the Gunnison National Forest between Crested Butte and Taylor Park, in Gunnison County, Colorado — mineral-rich country that includes the Quartz Creek Pegmatite District, with more than 1,800 documented pegmatites, and the historic Dorchester Mining District [1][2]. The area's pegmatites and surrounding metamorphic rock produce a suite of accessory minerals including epidote, chlorite, tourmaline, and garnet [2][3]. We could not confirm a specific named outcrop or collecting parcel that matches this database entry's exact coordinates, so this is written as general-area context rather than a pinpointed site guide. Note also that Colorado has more than one "Cement Creek" — this one is near Crested Butte/Taylor Park, distinct from the better-known Cement Creek near Silverton in San Juan County.

UNVERIFIED specific directions. Cement Creek Road/Cement Creek Campground sits within about 15 miles of Crested Butte, in the Gunnison Ranger District of the Gunnison National Forest [1].

UNVERIFIED — general inference only. National forest land in this area typically allows reasonable hand-collecting of common rocks and minerals for personal use, but this varies by district and should be confirmed with the Gunnison Ranger District office before collecting.

Land manager is presumed to be the U.S. Forest Service, based on the road's general location within the Gunnison National Forest, but this is area-level inference, not a confirmed match to the exact database coordinates. Confirm current rules with the Gunnison Ranger District before collecting.
