  "Steep, did I say STEEP? But beautiful at destination."
  "It's very steep & a lot of turns. Drove in very low gear & by the time our SUV made it to the bottom you could still smell my brakes. We had to let them cool off, but what a great place to wait. There were restrooms at the bottom also. Beautiful place, quiet & peaceful. Nice place to have a pic..."nic. Wasn't crowded & there wasn't a lot of traffic on the road. On the way back up we saw several deer cross the it. " More >

  "Black Canyon of the Gunnison River"
  "Wow! What a delightful surprise. The trail along the south rim of the canyon was fun to trek. The visitors center was well done and the ranger staff so helpful and informative. The film about how the area was formed is also well done. We walked out to every overhang and enjoyed seeing how the sc..."hist of the area is almost impenetrable--wearing away only 1 inch per century. The depth of the canyon is inspiring. We saw two red-tailed hawks soaring on thermals as they searched for food, and we spotted the Dragon's Tongue at one oversight. Lunch at High Top at a lovely picnic table out of the wind was perfect for this brisk day. Also, the wildflowers were at their glorious peak with arrowroot, lupine, larkspur and others providing wonderful welcomes to many of the trails. " More >

  "The visitors center was well organized and offered a visual of the area. The staff was welcoming, interested, and so helpful. We saw the film they offered and listened in as a ranger told the story of the canyon's development over millions of years. Inspiring place."
