Views from South Rim

The Grand Canyon looks like it was formed over millions of years. Black canyon looks like it was formed last week. I did most of the small hikes from the south rim to the various viewpoints for a stunning afternoon being blown away b the scale of the place.

All the Trails and the Gunnison Route  Sucess!

My wife and I hiked all of the established trails in the park and the Gunnison Route during our four day stay. We also ventured over to Curecanti and hiked four trails there. We loved the Gunnison route and want to come back for SOB Draw.

Gunnison Route

Nice day for it. Not too crazy, but I guess that's why it's the most popular route.

frequent visits  Sucess!

I live only 10 miles away, and love Black Canyon - it is great for cross country skiing in the winter, a great road biking up to South Rim (and the road to the river has the steepest grade in Colorado), good hiking, I don't fish - but Gunnison is full of large trouts, and of course rock climbing - scary huge walls, so I am doing only the easier ones (am an old lady after all).

Great Hiking  Sucess!

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

Escape Artist. An amazing 8 pitched 10a. Back for more. There is nothing like climbing in the black. It's my type of climbing.

South Rim  Sucess!

Drove around the South Rim and hiked to a bunch of the overviews of the canyon. Only had a few hours here, since we had to head back east.
