Black Canyon of the Gunnison Wilderness

Black Canyon of the Gunnison Wilderness protects some of the most dramatic geology in America—sheer walls plunging 2,000 feet into ancient Precambrian rock. This designated Wilderness keeps 11,180 acres wild and roadless, offering solitude beyond the park’s overlooks. Fewer people venture here, which means more untouched terrain for those who do. These dark, narrow depths carved over two million years deserve recognition. Rep a Wilderness that proves the deepest experiences aren’t always the most accessible.
