| I've been to both rims but this time I hiked down to the river via the Gunnison Route on May 9, 2012. I would like to hike other inner canyon routes later. | |

| No other canyon in North America combines the narrow opening, sheer walls, and startling depths offered by the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. | |

| ArankaP | Gunnison Route | |
| Begin to hike late morning with my family. Hiked the Gunnison Route from the Visitor Center on the South Rim. Did not run into anyone on the trail. Steep cool wall very quickly heated up on the afternoon. Bring lots of water! | |

| RMdaytripsgrl | SOB Draw Date Climbed: Jul 2, 2000 | |
| What an awesome place! Mostly a class 3 scramble. They aren't kidding about the poison ivy! We managed to get through unscathed, but took a lot of time just avoiding plants. Witnessed a climbing accident on the nearby wall, some protection popped out with a lot of rock and barely missed the rope team. Notified the rangers on the way out. Hope they all got out ok. | |

| Terrific hike, not too difficult. The gorge and rapids at the bottom are spectacular! I found a couple fun ledge systems to scramble about on partway down the draw. Recommended! | |
