Exploring the Majestic Black Canyon: A Journey into Colorado's Hidden Gem

A walk to the overlook of Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park

I absolutely adore capturing 60 seconds of nature's beauty, but some places just aren't ideal for those serene "listening points." Sometimes, all you get is the harsh sound of wind or the distracting noise of traffic and voices in the background. That's why I introduced "Shall we?" videos, inviting you to join me on adventures.

I vividly recall one summer day driving on the narrow two-lane roads of Vermont. As I rounded a bend, I was met with the sight of an incredibly blue lake nestled amidst luscious pines. It was a moment that transported me back to the sheer wonder and anticipation of childhood Christmases, rushing down the stairs to see what Santa had left under the tree. When was the last time you felt that sense of awe and wonder?

Now, let's dive into the heart of our adventure. Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park is truly a hidden gem, offering awe-inspiring views and rugged landscapes. Carved by the Gunnison River over millions of years, the canyon's sheer walls tower over 2,000 feet above the river below. As we explore its depths, you'll be mesmerized by the stark beauty of its dark rock walls contrasted against the vibrant greenery of the surrounding wilderness.

In my latest video, I invite you to join me as we navigate the precipitous trails and gaze out over the vast expanse of the canyon below. It's a journey you won't soon forget—one that will leave you in awe of the raw power and majesty of nature.
