Colorado 6: Black Canyon

 Another day, another park, another junior ranger badge. This one, the black canyon of the gunnison, went down rather than up. One of the cliff faces we saw was twice as high as the empire state building, which was completely incomprehensible. We finished the day off at a ski hotel which, this being the off season, was empty, so the girls had a huge swimming pool and games room to themselves. They would probably have been happy to have spent the whole trip there. 




The striped cliff opposite is 2x the Empire State building in height. There is a river (the Gunnison) at the bottom. It's a long way away.
