Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park is a 30,750-acre outdoor space which was established in 1999. The park received over 300,000 visitors annually, many of whom come to explore the beautiful park and view the 12 miles of the 48-mile long Black Canyon of the Gunnison River. You’ll be able to see some of the deepest and most dramatically beautiful parts of the canyon from the park. Though there are longer and deeper canyons across America, the combination of depth, narrowness, and darkness found at Black Canyon are incomparable - some parts of the gorge only see 33 minutes of sunlight a day.
