surrounding attributes Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park Gunnison, CO Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park is in Western Colorado, one of the deepest canyons in the world. It surrounds part of a deep, steep-walled gorge carved through Precambrian rock by the Gunnison River. You can take a boat ride with the National Park Service in the depths of the canyon. Amazingly, there was once a narrow-gauge railroad through it, which Mark Twain called the most frightening ride of his life. Roads and trails along the north and south rims have views of the Black Canyon's dramatic drops and the striated Painted Wall cliff. The winding East Portal Road descends to the river. Wildlife includes mule deer, elk and golden eagles.
Alpine Loop - Backcountry Byway Lake City - Silverton - Ouray Whether you start from Lake City, Ouray or Silverton, gravel roads lead you into the high alpine meadows and forests. As your elevation increases, so does your need for a 4-wheel drive, high clearance vehicle. This byway takes you into the Backcountry of Colorado’s mining past, up above the timberline into the tundra, and over two high elevation passes. Originally built as toll roads for the stages and freighters of the late 1800s, these roads are now your access into Colorado’s frontier history. The Alpine Loop covers 65 miles of roads between the towns of Lake City, Ouray and Silverton. Depending on winter snows, the loop opens in late May to early June and closes in late October. Historic interest includes ghost towns, abandoned mining camps, and cabins that were built from the mid1870s through the early 1900s. The true star of this show is NATURE in all her glory: waterfalls, rare wildlife, spectacular fields of wildflowers, and geologic features such as jagged volcanic peaks, glacier-carved cirques, and canyons.
