The Black Canyon of the Gunnison

Today Jeremy and I took a short day trip to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, one of numerous National Parks visits for the summer. And it was so close... only 10 minutes outside of Montrose! It is an extremely jagged canyon carved out of hard rock and is so deep it receives very little sunlight at the bottom (thus the "black" in its name). It wasn't even discovered until the 1830s... and there is no evidence of any humans prior to that! It was a bit dreary today, so my pictures are lacking a bit of color, but the views were vibrant as well as breathtaking!
