"The sun cannot reach all of this park's cracks and crevices, earning it the "black” in its name. (Contrary to popular belief, it is not due to the color of the rock, which is black in some places.) The 53 mile long canyon sculpted by the Gunnison river is one of the narrowest and the deepest in the western US. South Rim has 12 overlooks and North Rim has 6. Need a permit to hike down to river"

"The scenic drive! 1 day activity "

"Welcome to the self-proclaimed Grand Canyon of Colorado. Despite being just 14 miles from Montrose and 63 miles from Gunnison, Black Canyon of the Gunnison receives fairly modest visitation. An ideal spot for scenic drives, rock climbing, kayaking, and hiking, the park houses some of the oldest exposed rock and craggiest spires in North America. So why don’t more people visit? Well, the striking, vertical canyon walls that make Black Canyon of the Gunnison so impressive, also make for less available hiking trails and amenities. The park only offers a handful of short trails on the outer rim and only strenuous, unmarked trails on the inner canyon, which tends to deter the everyday traveler. Still, we think the South Rim Drive, which offers 12 stunning vistas of the canyon below, is reason enough to venture to Black Canyon of the Gunnison. Also, as an International Dark Sky Park, some would argue that the real magic happens after dark. There are three large campsites located in the park, one of which offers impressive views of the highest cliff in Colorado, Painted Wall, which is 1,000 feet taller than the Empire State Building. However, if you’re looking to stay in a hotel or need to refill your snack supply, you’ll have to trek to a nearby city."
