Travel: Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, Colorado

By Robert Ellis

This National Park derives its name partly from the Gunnison River that flows through it and the obvious...dark colored canyon walls. It is a majestic canyon with numerous views at the many stops along the rim.

There are two access locations to the park, the northern and southern rims. We visited the southern rim on this trip.

The northern rim is unpaved, more remote and the least visited...similar views but with different perspectives. This park visit was our last on this trip. We added it to our itinerary since we would be flying back home to Kentucky from nearby Grand Junction, Colorado, the next day.


Note: We'll be posting photos from Robert's latest trip over the couple of days. Bookmark this page for more photos, and links to the other installments. --Pen

Travel: Aspen glows with fall colors

Robert writes, "This photo was taken just off trail below the visitor center. I noticed folks were stopping by and looking at the lone aspen tree in the center of the pic...its fall colors glowing brightly amongst the surrounding darker pines. We visited this park during the latter part of October, when trees, shrubs and bushes were displaying their best colors."
