Colorado -- Black Canyon

 

We have vacationed in Colorado for years, and keep finding new things to see.  In our previous years, we skied as many ski resorts as we could.  Now that I'm no longer able to ski, we look for more scenic attractions.

 

This trip started in Aurora, and went west across most of Colorado, visiting the highest incorporated city in America (Leadville, CO), the Collegiate Peaks, the Black Canyon, and then to an Amtrak ride on the California Zephyr from Glenwood Springs to Denver.

 

Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park

 

The Gunnison thunders down the steepest mountain descent of any river in the United States through one of the most spectacular and deepest canyons in the country.

 

Cool Fact:  Stack the Empire State Building atop the Willis Tower (a.k.a. Sears Tower) and you’d still be two stories short of the canyon rim at Warner Point, 2,722 feet above the river.
