Such an amazing place! You don't have to hike to see beautiful views. But there are places to hike if you want to. Several places to stop an enjoy a picnic. Be sure to stop at the Visitors Center, there's a place out back that has great views also. Several places we stopped we had birds flying "below" us. Just... More

As someone who has a problem with exposed height, I was curious how I would react to a canyon with 2700 foot sheer walls. They were amazing and hanging onto the railing I was able to look down. You must view the movie in the Visitor's Center on how the Canyon was created and how it was discovered. there are... More

If you happen to be in South Western Colorado then you must stop at Black Canyon @ Gunnison National Park. This place is totally out this world and is a must see. The park has a small visitors center with a informational movie and the usual souvenirs. The real magic is on the south rim drive. This is a short... More

This place is fantastic and well worth a look if you're anywhere nearby. It's pretty much a smaller Grand Canyon but even so, standing at the edge of the viewpoints and looking down I still got that dizzying feeling. It's good to see the river running along the bottom of the canyon too. There are loads of viewpoints to park... More

The Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Yosemite, these are the areas that the National Park designation was intended for. They're grand, they're big and there's lots to do and see. As much as I treasure having the Black Canyon of the Gunnison in my own back yard, I don't think it hits the National Park status. National Monument, you bet. It's good... More

This is an incredible place to visit! The day was beautiful...cool...mostly sunny with some clouds which added to the beauty. We took a few small hikes to the viewing points that were totally breathtaking! In mid-to early May there were no crowds...a great time to travel. The canyons with sheer walls were a sight to remember. Great picture taking opportunities.

Great way to spend the day - beautiful canyon, nice views! I think it was $15 admission (per car) to the park. Plenty of advice in previous reviews, but I'll add: The walk to the canyon is challenging but rewarding. We did the Gunnison route which is supposed to be the easiest option. 90 minutes down, about 2 hours to... More

The Black Canyon Of the Gunnison is different from many of the other national parks of the west in that it's smaller size makes you feel that you are more in touch with the canyon. Being so narrow in most places, you have a sense of scale. There seem in be starting and ending points in most areas. Not the... More
