Day Trips From the Park
Explore Western Colorado

Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park
Sheer cliffs, dramatic overlooks, and star-filled night skies in one of North America's steepest canyons — an easy drive from the park.
Ouray Hot Springs & Box Canyon Falls
Soak in natural hot springs in the 'Switzerland of America,' then feel the thunder of Box Canyon Falls just minutes from downtown Ouray.
Telluride
Ride the free gondola, stroll historic Colorado Avenue, and take in alpine views in this iconic mountain town — an easy scenic drive south.
Colorado National Monument & Grand Junction
Cruise the breathtaking Rim Rock Drive along towering red-rock canyons, then explore the shops and wineries of nearby Grand Junction.
