Day trip to Cimmiron

Morrow point dam, the middle of 3 on the Gunnison river prior to it entering the national park.

The (muddy) Cimmiron river, coming in from the left, joins the Gunnison before flowing deeper into the canyon.

More Black Canyon...

This is hard to read because of sun exposure but it's a good comparison with other canyons.  Top left - Black Canyon at the narrows (40' wide), top center - Zion Canyon, top right - Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.  Center - Hells Canyon of the Snake river.  Bottom - Grand Canyon.

Our last day in Black Canyon gave us the best sunset of the whole 2 weeks.
