Snowshoe in Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park

Montrose County, Colorado

2 mi / 377 ft gain

Winter is a great time to visit Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. Covered in snow, the canyon seems even more dramatic and sheer. The park road is plowed up until the visitor center, and there is no entrance fee in the winter. The rest of the park road is groomed for cross country skiing and snowshoeing. Snowshoes are also available to borrow in the visitor center. Just ask for them a...

Hike the Chasm View Nature Trail

This easy trail is located along the north rim of the canyon and can be completed as either a short loop hike or a shorter out and back to the first overlook. You’ll find the trailhead at the North Rim Campground. The views of the canyon along this trail are fantastic, some of the best in the park unless you drop into the canyon.

To protect the delicate environment only 12 people are allowed per day.The route down to the river is a steep, vegetated r...

Hike the Oak Flat Loop

Montrose, Colorado

5.0

2 mi / 377 ft gain

Black Canyon of the Gunnison is one of Colorado's four national parks. Though not as well known as Rocky Mountain or Mesa Verde, Black Canyon has no lack of views, hiking opportunities, and other must-experience natural features. The Canyon's expanse is far too large to explore in a day, but the Oak Flat loop offers hikers the chance to see some of the most panoramic overlooks of the canyon an...
