Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, CO

This is one of those little known gems of the national park system.  It is quite lovely and well worth a visit. !! Very impressive,  the canyon drops 2700 feet to the river below.  We drove to the park from Durango in the jeep and so had to cross 3 - 10 to 11 thousand foot summits.  We were happy when we did it that we had changed our previous plans of driving the motorhome that route!!  As you can see, we had some "weather" along the way!  It was beautiful and fun.  We did an overnight in Ouray just driving the jeep.
