Black Canyon Of The Gunnison Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Black Canyon of the Gunnison.
In the west of Colorado there is a mighty crevice in the earth's surface, the Black Canyon Of The Gunnison. For the primeval inhabitants of North America this dark rock landscape must have seemed to be a magical place and was probably something they did their best to avoid but today it is a popular tourist attraction.

The Black Canyon - Colorado
In this episode of Cheap Family Travel ( Nick, Regan, Maggie, and Kate traveled to The Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park in Colorado, which just became a United States National Park in 1999. The Black Canyon is unique because it is a relatively unknown national park, so it is not crowded and campsites are available on a first come basis. The Gunnison River rushes through the canyon, creating steep walls and amazing views, especially at the Sunset View and Dragon Point lookouts. Hiking in the Black Canyon is exciting, with interesting hikes with park rangers and more adventurous hikes that go down the steep canyon walls to the river below. The local wildlife is seen throughout the park, including deer that stroll casually through the campgrounds. For a vacation that offers the full national park experience without the crowds and traffic of the more well-known parks, The Black Canyon of the Gunnison is among the most beautiful and enjoyable national parks we've visited.

Hey Everybody! come join me and have some fun at The Black Canyon of the Gunnison!
Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park is a United States National Park located in western Colorado and managed by the National Park Service. There are 3 entrances to the park. The south rim entrance is located 15 miles (24 km) east of Montrose, while the north rim entrance is 11 miles (18 km) south of Crawford and is closed in the winter. The park contains 12 miles (19 km) of the 48-mile (77 km) long canyon of the Gunnison River. The national park itself contains the deepest and most dramatic section of the canyon, but the canyon continues upstream into Curecanti National Recreation Area and downstream into Gunnison Gorge National Conservation Area. The canyon's name owes itself to the fact that parts of the gorge only receive 33 minutes of sunlight a day, according to The Black Canyon of the Gunnison. In the book, Vandenbusche states, Several canyons of the American West are longer and some are deeper, but none combines the depth, sheerness, narrowness, darkness, and dread of the Black Canyon. The Gunnison River drops an average of 34 feet per mile (6.4 m/km) through the entire canyon, making it the 5th steepest mountain descent in North America. By comparison, the Colorado River drops an average of 7.5 feet per mile through the Grand Canyon. The greatest descent of the Gunnison River occurs within the park at Chasm View dropping 240 feet per mile. The Black Canyon is so named due its steepness which makes it difficult for sunlight to penetrate into its depths. As a result, the canyon is often shrouded in shadow, causing the rocky walls to appear black. At its narrowest point the canyon is only 40 ft wide at the river.

Overview Black Canyon with Gunnison River
The extreme steepness and depth of the Black Canyon formed as the result of several geologic processes acting together. The Gunnison River is primarily responsible for carving the canyon, though several other geologic events had to occur in order to form the canyon as it is seen today.

Great views. Chat with the folks in the visitor center -- they can tell you a lot about the area. If you go out on the overlook, beware of the cracks in the rocks :-)

Mesa Verde National Park & Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP科罗拉多国家公园VLOG|悬崖上的房子|采访国家公园工作人员|卸妆大素颜

♥关于Mesa Verde National Park♥
名气比其他国家公园小很多,但很有特色,有历史在支撑,有灵魂在徜徉,Pueblos土著人民在悬崖建房子,陡峭的峡谷,狭窄的山路和美丽的沙漠,每一个地方都让你记忆深刻、流连忘返。
有点小遗憾,因为前一天很晚赶到小木屋,第二天没能很早爬起来,去买攀爬Balcony House的permit时已经sold out,这里需要爬10米的扶梯到悬崖,还要钻一个隧道,全程有难度,喜欢冒险挑战的小伙伴不要错过(当然一定要注意安全哟!)
其他景点如下(看个人时间和情况酌情选择):
1【Visitor Center】一定要去,这里的纪念品(冰箱贴、明信片、patch等)是我见过数一数二好看而且有特色的
2【Museum】对于休闲游的小伙伴们一定要去,可以看展览和观影学习历史、开拓眼界,这里也是购买公园里3处古居permit的地方
3【Balcony House】位于Chapin Mesa。需要购买permit!要爬10米的扶梯和钻隧道
4【Cliff House】位于Chapin Mesa。每半小时有个团,集合后由Ranger介绍背景然后进入悬崖参观,我们去的时候是closed,只能在悬崖对面拍拍照。据说里面有200多个房间,布局十分紧凑
5【Long House】位于Wetherill Mesa,这里还有Step House(可以自行参观,需要下一小段悬崖的路)。我们时间比较紧,就没有去这里。

♥关于Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park♥
在这神奇的地球上,再找到一个像这里一样如此深、如此窄、如此陡又如此黑暗的峡谷,应该很难了!这里是地球表面众多裂缝中的最特别的一个,最深处深达2722英尺(829米),最窄处窄到40英尺(12米),放眼望去,峡谷也是黑漆漆的一片。
景点推荐:
1【South Rim Visitor Center】附近有Gunnison Point观景点
2【Rim Rock Trail】1mile,有Tomichi Point观景点
3【Oak Flat Loop Trail】2mile
4【Uplands Trail】2 mile
另外,这里是攀岩爱好者的天堂,几乎是垂直的峡谷仅限高级攀岩运动员,注意安全!
