Our Next Adventure
|
 | After passing thru Montrose, we turned north into the Black Canyon of the Gunnison |  |
 | we stopped at a 3-4 overlooks, viewed the amazing formations, grabbed some photos ...then loaded back up - more overlooks to see |  |
| | | | |
 |  |  |  |
| | | | |
 |  | informative signs shared the different types of formations found here |  |
 |  |  |  |
| | | | |
 | a sign sharing the volume of water that flows at the bottom of the canyon |  |
| | | | |
 | one of a kind great photo opps at every overlook |  |  |
| | | | |
 |  |  |  |
| | | | |
 | the painted wall was probably one of the most favorite overlooks - rock formations like we had never seen before |  |  |
| |  | every overlook we stopped at, we had a min-car show | |
| | | | |
 |  |  |
| | | | |
 | Doug climbed into the crevice capture the painted wall with a rock frame around it |  |  |
| | | | |
| |  | amazing rock formations on the walls - looked like a large-scale granite countertop | |
| | | | |
 | solid rock yet areas where vegetation managed to survive |  |  |
| | | | |
| The visitor center - great balcony view over the canyon |  |  | there were trails connecting several of the overlooks |
| | | | |
| |  | at the visitor center, you could play ranger for a photo op | |
| | | | |
Our Evening Destination
|
 | we checked into our lodging for the night, Tomichi Village on the east side of Gunnison |  |  |
| | | |
 | we went to our rooms and the hotel staff was there to help you with your luggage |  |
| | | | |
 | after a few rain showers, most decided their Vettes needed a bath and detailing; especially since we had an appointment at the Royal Gorge tomorrow |  |  |
| | | | |
 |  | some paid the hotel staff to clean / detail their Vettes while others did their own (wait - Glenda, that isn't our Vette) |  |
| | | | |

Thanks Alex! |  |  |
