Black Canyon of the Gunnison
was oh my god amazing. one of the quieter but more beautiful national parks we’ve been to. people climb here, which we didn’t do because the rocks are pretty forbidding and we are Not Prepared for that kind of thing, but we did get to do some bouldering with jes’s friend louis the park ranger (more on that in another post).
but black canyon was spectacular. we hiked way down from the top to the river, covering almost 2000 feet of elevation in about a mile. in the middle of the day. the hot, hot day. it was good. we felt successful.
jes found some rocks on the way down.
also did i mention it was PRETTY?
