Surrounding Attributes Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park Gunnison, CO
Cochetopa Creek Between Gunnison and Saguache, 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.
Practically right out the front door of Los Creek Ranch lies one of the west’s top meadow trout fisheries, with over 8 miles of conserved and protected public stream.
