Black Canyon of the Gunnison

On Memorial Day we headed to The Black Canyon of the Gunnison. It just became a National Park in 1999. It was breathtaking! They call it the little brother to the Grand Canyon. We went to a bunch of outlooks, and we drove down this really steep road to the bottom of the canyon and spent some time at the river. While we were there taking pictures some people came up to us and said, "Just so you know . . . there is a bear right over there." It didn't take us long to usher the children to the car. But then of course being unsmart like we are, we took turns getting out of the car and taking a look. It was a baby bear, and it was up in a tree. We are quite lucky that the Mother bear didn't decide to make her presence known while we were observing the cub!
