Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP - June 2008
 |
Arriving at Black Canyon on the Gunnison NP. |
 |
Lupine was blooming at its peak. |
 |
8,000' up here and spring has sprung. |
 |
After parking the 5th wheel in the NP camp ground Meghan and I took a drive down the very curvy road to the Gunnison River. |
 |
very nice view of the snow capped mountains up here. |
 |
The spring bloom. |

I drove along the canyon to look down into the gorge. |
 |
The Gunnison River through the park is very dangerous and only hard shell kayaks can make it through, if they portage a 1/2 mile stretch through poison oak./td> |

Yours truly near my camping site, located in scrub oak. It was very peaceful and dark up here, but no water or sewer. |
