Later, we drove further west to Black Canyon of the Gunnison, one of the youngest (if not the youngest) national parks. It was first designated a national park in 1999. I don't know what took so long - this place is magnificent.

PaRap, want to be my running mate? That look will appeal to the urban punks and the country folks, alike. Look at that landscape.... believe in God or Gunnison.
