Very dramatic landscape. Nice little hikes and a wonderful place to pack a picnic lunch to eat while sitting near the rim. Not to be missed while in Co. Would visit again. Untouched beauty. More

It's just amazing to think how some day this is likely to rival, or even surpass, the Grand Canyon. It's so deep, so narrow, that you really see the power of water on stone. It's called the Black Canyon because the sun can only reach the bottom when it's straight overhead. The Park Service only allows seasoned hikers/climbers to go... More

My mom liked coming here. I come here to visit her. She passed away when I was 17. I feel her here when I visit here. Love it here. More

One of the most interesting places in Colorado. The views are amazing along the rim road and when you drive down to the canyon floor, it is unbelieveably dramatic. I would enjoy seeing it again and highly recommend it for anyone going to Colorado. More

You can stay in one place for... More

A new look at the Canyon with exceptional overlooks. Not crowded and a great drive getting ther. More

This canyon creates awe due to it's depth and narrowness, besides being in a moutain area. It also has trees which makes it different from the Grand Canyon. There is hiking within this park but I would state that it leans mor to the primitive stage. There is a visitors center, though. This was our second national monument on this... More
