The Howling Canyon Winds

Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park was established in 1999. Trails along the north and south rims have views of the Black Canyon's dramatic drops and the striated Painted Wall cliff.

Upstream of the Black Canyon the state of Colorado built a damn and created a series of storage and hydropower reservoirs.
