Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park
Standing on the rim of Colorado's Black Canyon of the Gunnison, you peer into a chasm so deep and narrow that sunlight touches its rivers for only a handful of minutes each day.
Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park Travel Guide
Standing on the rim of Colorado's Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, you peer into a chasm so deep and narrow that sunlight touches its rivers for only a handful of minutes each day. Sheer dark walls plunge over 2,000 feet to the roaring Gunnison River, which has carved this "deep, steep, and narrow" gorge through Precambrian rock. The park protects some of the steepest cliffs in North America and sees relatively few visitors compared with other national parks, making it a place of solitude and awe.
Peer into the Black Canyon and you find a gorge so narrow and deep that parts of it see only about thirty‑three minutes of sunlight a day, the river hidden beneath walls that drop more than two thousand feet, making the landscape seem almost black.
