Not many folks have heard about The Black Canyon of The Gunnison. Now you have. And you should do whatever you can to see it. It's amazing. What it lacks in vastness (i.e. The Grand Canyon), it makes up in sheer terror-inducing vertigo. That tiny line of white and green curving through the bottom of the frame is the Gunnison River. I am standing about 2000 feet above it. Did I mention that the walls of the canyon go straight down? On both sides? That is has 8-foot high poison ivy plants?
