5/8: Black Canyon of the Gunnison, Colorado

“Safer at Home and the Colorado Great Outdoors 2020”

So many aspens! There is Gold in them there hills!

Howdy partner! We donned our masks to enjoy a walk around downtown Crested Butte.

Blue Mesa Reservoir is about 56 feet low due to water use fighting fires in California.

We camped 2 nights at the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park.

We walked the rim trail with the gamble oaks red dramatically setting off the black rock.

Enjoying the splendor of the canyon.

Looking down, down, down at the Gunnison River.

We were last here in the spring of 2012.
