Black Canyon of the Gunnison
OFTEN OVERSHADOWED BY Rocky Mountain, Mesa Verde, and Great Sand Dunes, Black Canyon of the Gunnison is the least visited of Colorado’s four national parks, but don’t expect it to be any less beautiful than the others.
During a two-month Colorado road trip, we spent a jam-packed day in Black Canyon of the Gunnison and it was one of the best surprises! With sheer canyon walls, the park can be experienced from the North and South rims, accessible overlooks, and very challenging hikes.
If you’re planning to visit Colorado and are looking for a less busy, but still epic, national park adventure, we highly recommend adding Black Canyon of the Gunnison to your list.
