Black Canyon Of The Gunnison National Park in Montrose, CO, showcases some of the steepest cliffs, oldest rock formations, and craggiest spires in North America. Over two million years, the forces of nature and the Gunnison River have sculpted this vertical wilderness of rock, water, and sky.

The park offers a unique opportunity to witness the geologic story of uplift, volcanism, and the powerful erosive force of water that has shaped the Black Canyon of the Gunnison.
