Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park

Prior to visiting Black Canyon of the Gunnison, we visited Mesa Verde National Park. After visting Mesa Verde, we traveled north to the town of Ouray. The drive was beautiful. Ouray was a small, fun town with great nature. After our stay in Ouray, we headed north to Black Canyon of the Gunnison. We spent the day in the park and loved seeing the many viewpoints of the canyon along the southside of the park. We really liked that the park was not very crowded, and there were so many very short trails to take in the canyon views. It is breathtakingly beautiful and awe inspiring. The geology is so interesting. I think that this is a park that the photos do not do it justice. After visiting the park, we stayed in Grand Junction, Colorado.
