The Black Canyon of the Gunnison River is one of the deepest, narrowest, and most inaccessible canyons in the United States. Very few explorers have ever traversed the 53-mile gorge in Gunnison and Montrose Counties. The canyon, one of the nation's wonders, has been the precipitous stage for an exciting history featuring Ute Indians, a narrow-gauge railroad, sensational explorations, and the construction of the Gunnison Tunnel--the first major Bureau of Reclamation project in history. The Black Canyon became a national monument in 1932 and a national park in 1999. Today it remains a crown jewel of Colorado's Western Slope.
Camping, wildlife viewing, hiking, backpacking, climbing, mountain biking, fly fishing--the recreational opportunities around Black Canyon are unsurpassed.
The river that carved the ruggedly spectacular chasm preserved at Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, Colorado, remains untamed for 26 miles. Sheer walls of primordial schist and gneiss soar 1,700 feet above river level at the 40-foot Narrows and 2,250 feet at Painted Wall. This book describes the process that helped create one of the most dramatic gorges in the United States and the efforts of local residents to preserve this breathtaking Colorado chasm as a national park.
First published as a United States Geological Survey Bulletin, this book provides a scholarly look at the factors and forces that created the Black Canyon of the Gunnison in Colorado. Numerous topographic drawings and diagrams.

But once the manhunt is set in motion, Jason and Cara find themselves embroiled in a fearsome conspiracy involving an abandoned mine deep in Black Canyon—and someone who will do anything to keep them from finding out the truth. As the danger escalates, Jason must choose between upholding the law…and following his instincts to protect the woman he won’t live without.
Colorado's Black Canyon, the nation's newest National Park, is steeper and narrower than the Grand Canyon. There are many places where dangerous rapids fill the entire space between the walls. The Black Canyon was not conquered until 1901 when William Torrence and Abraham Lincoln Fellows completed the first full passage of the canyon using a rubber boat for some portions of the trip. Robb Magley traces the unique history of the Black Canyon, but not content with archival research, the author and a friend took their own adventure on foot through thirty-three miles of the narrow canyon. The adventure required seventy- six river crossings and almost cost them their lives.?We had no food, and no way to purify drinking water. The sun was going down, and we had nothing but shorts, t-shirts, and life jackets to keep us warm. The only piece of gear either of us had left was our river knives, clipped to our life vests in the event we had to free ourselves from a fouled rope. The canyon was getting darker, and we had run out of options.?
