Black Canyon of the Gunnison

The route today was from Gunnison, CO to Durango, CO with a stop at the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. The drive was similar to a roller coaster. Sheer drop offs from the side of the road with no guard rails. Curves both up and down the mountains. The road is through abandoned mining operations. We could see many old remnants on the mountain sides. Here's our route. A few photos from our hike. The Painted Wall At the end of the hike Desert Bloom
