***About Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park:

*** Known for its steep and craggy walls, Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park is a striking expanse of public land in western Colorado. The park encompasses some of the most dramatic and rugged landscapes. Its name derives from the fact that parts of the gorge receive only minutes of sunlight a day, rendering it almost perpetually dark. Formed through a slow and mighty process of erosion by the Gunnison River, the canyon exposes some of Earth's oldest rock, Precambrian crystalline, which dates back over a billion years. The park is a popular destination for rock climbing, hiking, and fishing, celebrated not only for its formidable geologic features but also for its rich ecosystems and the diverse array of fauna it supports.
