Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park

This Colorado National Park is named after its black canyons 

formed millions of years ago by the Gunnison River.  

The canyon harbors visually striking dark volcanic rocks sculpted over the years by the force of wind and water.  

The Black Canyons are home to the steepest cliffs and ragged mountain spires. 

The Gunnison National Park’s Black Canyon trail descends to the southeast of Grand Junction, Colorado.

Highlights: hiking, camping, boat tours, rock climbing, and kayaking.
