The Black Canyon of the Gunnison is so named because of the dark canyon walls.
I entered the south rim and hiked a number of off-road trails to various points overlooking the Gunnison River that winds a path far below the rim.
This park is new--established as a park in 1999.
Most of the rim trails are easy going.
The view named the painted wall because of the colors and figures changes color according to the sunlight. The photo below illustrates the immense height of this old wall compared to famous tall structures.
There's wildlife and a great variety of plants.
It's worth a visit if you are attempting to see America's National Parks as I am.
