Agree with the other review, a must-do trail. There's marked plants along the way to brush up on the local flora and then you can just admire the rugged views from the end. I happened to be out there for sunset and it was a great cap to a day exploring Black Canyon.

Must do short hike in Black Canyon of the Gunnison, really beautiful scenery and views of the deep canyon. The "Point" itself is great and you can see the road and other stops you would make along the way. Note this trail continues down into the canyon for a long day hike or you can turn around and head back to the parking lot.

Snowshoe in Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park

Winter is a great time to visit Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. Covered in snow, the canyon seems even more dramatic and sheer. The park road is plowed up until the visitor center, and there is no entrance fee in the winter. The rest of the park road is groomed for cross country skiing and snowshoeing. Snowshoes are also available to borrow in the visitor center. Just ask for them a...

Hike to the Painted Wall

At 2,250 feet, the Painted Wall in Black Canyon of the Gunnison is a sight that cannot be truly captured in photos. The layers of rock along the cliff's wall resembles a canvas with streaks from a paintbrush. This canyon took eons to create, and this view of the river and canyon walls is the highlight of the National Park. It is a quick and easy trip out and back to the overlook from the south ...

Hike the Gunnison Route

Immediately upon arriving, secure a permit to scramble down 1,800ft in one mile to the Gunnison River. There are no hiking trails below the rim of the canyon, and because of its relentless steepness and rock exposure, the only existing routes are incredibly steep and loose. To protect the delicate environment only 12 people are allowed per day.The route down to the river is a steep, vegetated r...

Hike the Chasm View Nature Trail

This easy trail is located along the north rim of the canyon and can be completed as either a short loop hike or a shorter out and back to the first overlook. You’ll find the trailhead at the North Rim Campground. The views of the canyon along this trail are fantastic, some of the best in the park unless you drop into the canyon. You’ll hike through Pinyon and Juniper forests and see many diffe...

Hike the Oak Flat Loop

Black Canyon of the Gunnison is one of Colorado's four national parks. Though not as well known as Rocky Mountain or Mesa Verde, Black Canyon has no lack of views, hiking opportunities, and other must-experience natural features. The Canyon's expanse is far too large to explore in a day, but the Oak Flat loop offers hikers the chance to see some of the most panoramic overlooks of the canyon an...

Drive the East Portal Road

Want an easier way to get to the bottom of the canyon without the rugged hiking trails? Drive to the bottom via the East Portal Road. Open once the harsh winter breaks, this road switchbacks its way to the bottom at the meeting place of Curecanti National Recreation area and Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. The road is really steep, with many switchbacks and therefore only vehicles o...
