The Black Canyon of the Gunnison River is one of the deepest, narrowest, and most inaccessible canyons in the United States. Very few explorers have ever traversed the 53-mile gorge in Gunnison and Montrose Counties. The canyon, one of the nation's wonders, has been the precipitous stage for an exciting history featuring Ute Indians, a narrow-gauge railroad, sensational explorations, and the construction of the Gunnison Tunnel--the first major Bureau of Reclamation project in history. The Black Canyon became a national monument in 1932 and a national park in 1999. Today it remains a crown jewel of Colorado's Western Slope.Binding Type: HardcoverAuthor: Duane VandenbuschePublisher: Arcadia Publishing Library EditionsPublished: 08/12/2009ISBN: 9781531645526Pages: 130Weight: 0.91lbsSize: 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d
