Just gorges! At Colorado’s Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, plunging cliffs, soaring buttresses, and a thundering river make for a compelling visit and a view like no other. Black Canyon runs 48 miles long (14 miles within the park) and reaches depths of over 2,700 feet —more than twice the height of the Empire State Building. Not bad. Not for the faint of heart, most access to the Black Canyon is strenuous and dangerous. Visitors should do their research and come prepared! Image: Sun highlights a rocky canyon landscape.
