Black Canyon of Gunnison National Park – things to do in Colorado

San Juan Mountains, Colorado view from the road

If you live between Denver and Boulder and you’ve never been to the Black Canyon of Gunnison National Park, a road trip awaits that will leave you breathless!

Click the link above for details about weather, directions, more photos. The entrance fee is $15 for a car load.

Some of the photos below of the drive getting to Black Canyon.  We had driven south to see a friend in Alamosa, so approached from a different direction than we normally would have.

While you’re in the area, be sure to stop in Ouray. This Victorian town is situated in a rugged area that only miners would have settled. Tour a ghost town or an abandoned mine, or take a Jeep tour. And just outside of Ouray is Box Canyon Falls and Park.

I write posts on real estate issues and local events in the Denver metro area, especially those *communities between Denver and Boulder, as a public service. My hope is to give people an idea of the ‘flavor’ of our community, in case they’re new or moving to the Denver area.

I am a residential real estate agent, happily helping folks buy a house or sell a house in the beautiful and friendly *suburbs northwest of Denver.
