We stumbled upon this park on the map and, of course, couldn't pass by a national park! This one is a smaller and much narrower version of the Grand Canyon.
We took the "river access" trail down to the Gunnison river at the bottom of the canyon: 1800 ft down in 1 mile!
The trail was so steep that chains were required at times to navigate the loose dirt & rock.
We made it down to Gunnison - beautiful spot for fly fishing!
And Adam caught his first fish with a fly rod!!! Unfortunately Ailey was too busy reading to capture it on film so below is a picture of Adam animatedly relating the story of his catch.
We then made the short, but incredibly steep trek back to the rim of the canyon and rewarded ourselves with the mighty watermelon of the Gunnison!
