From the picture album: Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park



Southwest Colorado's Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park is a remarkable place. The nearly-vertical canyon walls drop over 2000 feet to the Gunnison River, providing spectacular views along the length of the 12-mile national park. The view shown here is of Painted Wall (pictured on the right), the sheerest cliff in the park.

I found photography difficult in the park. In general, I find canyons challenging. Until the sun gets high in the sky, shadows complicate one's task. Consequently, I was disappointed with many of the shots I took at Black Canyon of the Gunnison.
