Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park
More views of the canyon
The canyon is very dramatic.
The Painted Wall. Many people imagine images like giant Petroglyphs.

First thing today we headed to Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. The park has a nice visitor center with a nice view of the canyon. The canyon depth runs from 1000 to 2300 ft deep with the Gunnison river at the bottom. This is mainly a driving park with short walks from the road to overlooks. By lunch we felt we had seen it all and headed back to town. We chose to eat at the Horsefly Brewery just a block from the RV park. We had a BBQ, bacon cheeseburger and tater-tots that were excellent. Next we drove the few blocks to downtown and checked out a few stores. The rest of the day we chilled at the RV and watch a movie. I also decided to change the encryption configuration on my computer. I only mention this because a later discovered I made a BIG mistake.
