On Sunday we drove to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. We haven’t visited this park yet and decided to take advantage that we have the annual pass this year.

It’s a pretty small park but worth the visit if you are in the area.

We went to the visitor center and asked the rangers for the best hikes with kids. We also had our god Humphry with us and we could take him with us on a lot of the trails.

The suggested the Rim Rock Trail and most of the overlooks.

The views were pretty great along the trail.

A couple more short hikes with overlooks.

The kids liked the hikes but were also pretty hot and ready to be done after a few hours.

We stayed on the South Rim but you can also visit the North Rim (that side is less popular).

Overall I am glad we got to visit and it makes me want to see the Grand Canyon soon!
