The Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park contains 2,000 foot narrow canyon walls, which drop almost vertically to the Gunnison River. Two camp-grounds are located in the park - one on the south rim and one on the north rim. The visitor's center is located on South Rim Drive and provides a video theater with two orientation programs. |
Located in the southwest section of Colorado, some of the park's more popular recreational activities are camping, backpacking, bird and wildlife viewing, fishing, and rafting. In the winter months, visitors enjoy cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. The park is open year round, but access to the south rim is limited in the winter. |
