This is one park that flies under the radar. Absolutey fantastic. Well worth the time to go there. Nature at is best. If you are lucky you may see a mountain lion there, we did. Not as big as the Grand Canyon, but in its way more beautiful. more

Awesome, amazing, what an incredible sight! Why isn't this more widely known about? (maybe it is, just not where i'm from!) Its certainly more than worth a stop here to spend an hour or two taking in the breathtaking views. more

We saw the Black Canyon of the Gunnison in July, 2009. It took us about three hours to see the canyon from all the spots we wanted to stop at. The negetive is it is just not close to much. more

There are a number of overlooks, but many of them are similar, so you don't need to stop at every one, unless you want to. The Visitor Centre at the second stops is excellent. Each overlook tells you the distance you have to walk, and it is worth noting this as sometimes these are a fair walk from the main... more

Take the guided boat tour of the Black Canyon. You will want to reserve for this trip ahead of time to get a spot. You can do this at the visitor center. The trip itself was a nice one on a pontoon style boat. You must be prepared for stairs. Walking down is the easy part. There's over 200 stairs... more

My family and I enjoyed the Black Canyon, with a unique opportunity it affords you to get drive your vehicle to the bottom of this very steep canyon. The view points from the rim are stunning as well. We spent several hours here back in June and we had a great time. It is not the Grand Canyon, nor does... more

The one thing I took with me from my visit to Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park is an appreciation for the sheer force of running water. It's amazing when you think that this giant canyon was formed by a river, far down below. The park has pleasant stops with lots of photo opps. We brought along a picnic... more

Incredible vistas, worth the trip. more
