Next stop was the Black Canyon of Gunnison Mountain. It got this name because the canyon is so deep, no human as ever been down in it.
We took the north rim drive to get to our campground. And it was quite the challenge. Two lane road, winding, twisting, curving through the mountains, with an 8000 foot drop on your right. While Mike oohed and aahed, I drove on; carefully I might add. If you have a fear of heights, not a good place to visit.
This whole area was very beautiful; and being there in the fall with the fall colours, it was beautiful. We both love being surrounded by mountains; and all their beauty that comes along with it.
From here, we also found our first "ghost town". Tin Cup, CO. Although there is some evidence of people living here, it is mostly being preserved as a ghost town. The only road out of town led us up a mountain pass, where we got stopped at the top from a 3 foot snow bank.
Take a look at our pictures.
