Black Canyon of the Gunnison North Rim – Area Recreation

Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park exposes you to some of the steepest cliffs, oldest rock, and craggiest spires in North America. With two million years to work, the Gunnison River, along with the forces of weathering, has sculpted this vertical wilderness of rock, water, and sky.

There’s also plenty of outdoor fun here including backpacking, hiking, mountain biking, fishing, river rafting, kayaking, and wildlife viewing.

South Rim is another campground at Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park.
