Black Cannyon of the Gunnison NP

Aug. 15, 2022


The original plan was to stay in a BLM area just outside the park.  We found a spot, setup and started relaxing. 


After a while a National Park service law enforcement ranger came driving through and we asked if there was anything we should know about the area.  He told us there was a breakin the previous weekend.  We would have rather stayed in the park anyway but thought all the sites were reserve only. He said all of loop "C" was first-come first- serve.  We drove the 2 miles to the park, found a spot, came back, hooked up, went back to the park and set up in our new site.

(Picture from a few days later, after the rain!)

It was a tight fit but we made it work.

The first full day in the park started out rainy but cleared after a few hours so we did some sight seeing.













Closer view of the river.




As we got to the Painted Wall overlook, it started raining again.


This overlook is named "Sunset view", with rain.

More to come...
