We departed the lake yesterday morning headed for Ouray. We passed a sign pointing to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, I had not heard of but decided to turn around and check it out. The 5 mile drive from the entrance to the canyon was a steady climb. This is a National Park and not to be missed if you are in the area. The canyon walls climb 2000 feet from the white water river below. There are hiking paths all around the canyon rim and some down into the bottom.
Blue Mesa lake, many miles long and lots of record trout caught here
