Hi Tristan! I live just outside of the park and wanted to let you and your subscribers know that there is another way to access the river. Every year during the Stone Fly hatch we get in many fisher enthusiast. If you enter through the Gunnison Gorge Wilderness Access Area there is a trail called Chucker Trail, it's definitely a four wheel drive road, but at the end there is a camping/picnic area. From the parking area there's a trail that trail that takes you down to the river. The trail is narrow and has many switch back, but very easy to walk and has beautiful scenery. At the bottom it opens up to a nice grassy area (large than most areas at the bottom) , a great place to relax, picnic, fish, and more. I've even seen people with pack mules carting kayaks down the trail. President Carter used to come out here every year to fish the river at this location. The next time you visit the Black Canyon, you might want to check this out.

[@williamcampbell7329]

Thanks for the tip Amy. Hoping my vehicle can manage the road.

[@lisadalry9457]

We were there a few years ago, it is amazing. We drove around the whole thing and stopped at every overlook even though we didn’t plan to. We had hotel reservations in Durango that night so drove down the “million dollar highway” at night. It was dark all the way from Ouray to Durango. There were mule deer EVERYWHERE. I think it was the most stressful drive we’ve ever had. But then we also stopped and saw more stars than I think I’ve ever seen in my life. It was a memorable trip for sure.

[@SUVRVing]

Agreed, driving at night in the mountains is always nerve-wracking because of those dang deer. Glad you (and your car) made it out alive!

[@larrydraper4451]

I was there on the south rim the end of October. It is a beautiful canyon to see. My mobility issues didn't allow me to do some of the view points due to the distance and terrain so I really appreciate seeing it thru your eyes. Keep up the travels and letting use go with you. Thank you.

[@SUVRVing]

Hi Larry, I'm glad you were able to make it out there. It's a great place. Even if you have the time or mobility for just a viewpoint on the rim, it's absolutely worth seeing. Thanks for watching!

[@joybeekingston6472]

When I first started watching KZbin videos on camping, etc., yours were the first. And still, yours are the best and by which I measure all others. So happy I discovered your channel ❤

[@michaeltichonuk2176]

You had over 700 views in first 45 min of posting. I remember when you had about 600 subscribers! Tristan, you have two of the best channels on You Tube in my opinion. How you present locations and history, data of hikes ect... I was in western Colorado about 5 weeks ago, in Az now, the first snow was neat to fish and camp. But the smoke...I broke out of Colorado ( meet up in Tahoe in a couple weeks then) Point being. I had a schedule this fall. But spring I plan on putting your Adventure Know How maps and all to use. I just fell behind schedule checking everything out. Keep up with your Outstanding work! I Know it takes a LOT of work to post a single video and I certainly appreciate it!

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Michael! That's really nice of you to say. And I know how a busy travel schedule goes. Too much to see and not enough time to see it!

[@gadams8160]

Hi Tristan, Greg here. Another good episode. High shiver factor. The Black Canyon is one of the most intimidating places I have ever visited. Had some friends that did a couple of climbing routes there and was always in awe. Steep, cold, dark and immense. Your description of the chaos at the bottom being like a machine with all the moving parts was a good one. Be careful out there Hans Solo. Thanks for the vicarious adventures. Looks like the last episode's via ferrata is now on our to do list.

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Greg! Back in my climbing heyday, I always wanted to go climbing in the Black but never got around to it. I even had the guidebook and would spend hours poring over the different routes. Still an awesome place even without the climbing, though!

[@cynforrest]

Fantastic! Views of and in the Black Canyon are jaw dropping! Thanks for another great vid, Tristan. You’re providing so much pleasure and joy to this ol lady who can no longer visit these incredible places. Thanks so very much!! ❤️

Thanks Cyn, that's really nice of you to say. I appreciate you watching and commenting.

[@candybaxter8879]

I love how you can hear the river from the rim. I have only been on the rim but I need to get in the bottom. So beautiful!

[@SUVRVing]

It's worth the slog down there, for sure!

[@d.chamblee6924]

Hi Tristan, I used to live in Montrose, and would fish the Gunnison regularly. Caught the biggest fish in my life there, about a 30 inch trout! Really enjoyed this video and all of the Colorado videos! Thanks so much. Stay warm and drive safe.

[@SUVRVing]

Wow, congrats on that fish! I've heard the fishing down there is fantastic, but I didn't have time to check it out for myself. Guess I'll have to make a return trip!

[@d.chamblee6924]

@@SUVRVing that was at least 30 yrs ago....but it was pretty cool! I know you could do it justice! Just make it back sometime!

[@PurposeBetweenSeasons]

Absolutely incredible. This cannon is more appealing to me than even the grand cannon. Maybe because your so much closer to it.

[@SUVRVing]

The Grand Canyon is so large that it sometimes doesn't even feel like a canyon. The Black Canyon, however, is what you think of when you think of a canyon. But it's HUGE. Thanks Kylie.

[@TheKoyotetracker]

A little late to the party but my wife and I have been catching up on your vids and of course enjoying them eminsly. Watching this one caused my wife to openly cry. Not because of the sheer edges and heights. We visited the canyon in 1986, two years before we were married. We were both so taken with it's beauty that when our son was born in '94, we named him after the canyon. Took him there when he was four so he could see his namesake.

[@historyofthejerseyshore]

You go to the most amazing places. It was beautiful at the bottom of the canyon! Thanks for being the coolest tour guide and taking us along on your journeys.

[@SUVRVing]

That's really nice of you to say! Thanks for watching.

[@peggynance9438]

I road a donkey down the grand canyons with my mom. My grandma took the helicopter. It was fun. I been their a few times and seen hover dam too. Plus been to Arizona many times and Los Angeles. I've been all over USA and Candia too. I used to love traveling to see different places. And I really don't do much anymore. But I do go to my old home stead town once in a while and I really enjoy it. Have a safe trip.

[@SUVRVing]

Revisiting the old homestead sounds great too! Thanks Peggy. I appreciate you watching and commenting.

[@caryanderson7212]

When you held the camera over the fence it reminded me of when I was about 5 years old my parents took us to the Grand Canyon. We stopped at an overlook area and we were at the edge by the fence and my dad picked me up and held me over the fence and dangled me in the air and all I remember was thinking that he was going to drop me and I’d end up at the bottom of the Grand Canyon dead. My mother told him to put me down and don’t do that again. Thank you for your high quality videos and the locations that you travel to and share with us! ❤

[@debvoz]

My family traveled widely when I was young, so I saw a lot of National Parks, but I've never seen Black Canyon of the Gunnison - it was amazing and I'm so glad you shared the hike there. Gorgeous

[@danlane4404]

Being old and a bit feeble I thank you for taking me places to see things I will never get to see in real life! I have enjoyed your site for a long time and enjoy it greatly. I only wish I could go and do things, and see things like you do. Thank you!

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Dan, I appreciate that. I'll keep making the videos as long as you keep watching!

[@carmenwheatley7316]

All of it was great, but just the volume of water passing by as you stood there was amazing to see up close. My daughter and I made this one of our stops when we went to Colorado. Thanks for taking us down to the bottom. FYI Black Canyon gets its name because some parts of the gorge receive only 33 minutes of sunlight per day.

[@SUVRVing]

I believe it! Thanks for watching, Carmen.

[@ClassCiv]

We're from the UK and slowly going insane with withdrawal symptoms as our relentless hiking in US national and state parks, and BLM lands, out West has been in suspension for two years. This is first time for 20 years plus we haven't had an annual pass. The border reopening came too late for a trip back to the West in 2021 but we are booked on flights into Phoenix in September 2022 for a month. We've been to the BC of the Gunnison several times in past years so thank you greatly for this visit to the north side which we've never visited and to see what it's like down at the bottom. Looks a bit heavy duty, but not as terrifying as Angels' Landing in Zion which we've managed (we're now in our 60s). Last time we made it to the BC we also enjoyed the drive along the East Portal Road down to the Gunnison Diversion Dam which is really the easiest way to get to the river. East Portal Road heads east off the approach road to National Park about 1 mile before the Visitor Center.

[@smarsville]

Very well done video. Not too long. not to short. Well placed commentary. Great curated scenery. Pleasant commentary, not too long, not too short. Precisely informative. Really, really good!

[@markpashia7067]

I am another of your viewers who will never be able to do this for health reasons, but I just hope you know how much this does for us who cannot be there. You open the world for us. I did get to Grand Mesa and stayed at a campground for one night about four years ago, but got in trouble with the altitude. We stopped on a road trip and I did not realize the altitude or I would have stopped for a bottle of O2 before going up. Ended up napping while sitting through the night. We dropped altitude the next day and I was fine. It is beautiful up there. Watch for the moose. Saw several on the road out.

[@patriciavanbragt602]

Thanks for the tour! I visited with my family in the mid 1990s. I left breaths of awe at observation platforms and I’m sure I raised my hands in praise. My parents had been there some years before and I still have a lovely green turquoise ring my father bought for my mother even as they watched the artist put finishing touches on it. I can still hear their descriptions of wonder and how indescribable it is. Someday maybe I can get there again

[@michaelsonleitner5724]

Excellent video Tristan. We visited the south rim back in 2016 and now want to visit the north rim. Sure nice to experience the hike to the bottom through you. Thanks and stay safe.

I don't think I'll ever get to 1 million, but I appreciate the kind words! 😁

[@Chad-gr3rz]

In the 70's when I was at Western State I lead some members of our Climbing Club down the slot to check out the Painted Wall from the bottom. There was so much falling rock that we had to biv right as we got to the river. Headed back up the next morning. Awesome place to be...

[@WonderMagician]

Thank you for sharing your hike through this majestic Colorado Grand Canyon Park. Enjoyed it all.

[@Terraducky]

Thanks for another amazing adventure, Tristan! That canyon scramble was epic. I love how you have these wild places to yourself- it's awe-inspiring. The drone following you along the ridge- YIKES!!!!!! I don't know how you do this stuff! Also, I have said this before- Love your choice of music.

[@LionheartedDan]

Thank you for sharing your adventure with us! I’m surprised that you didn’t stay longer or camp near the river to make the arduous journey more rewarding! Your return scramble to the rim in an hour would have impressed even the ancient inhabitants…

[@joelechner466]

Yes! I was hoping this is where you were going when you left us with the tease last week. I’ve loved all these Colorado videos. So many of these places are places we’re planning on visiting this summer.

[@SUVRVing]

Awesome, I'm glad you're enjoying the videos! Thanks for watching.

[@mfrunyan]

When we hiked down there, we got lost on the way back up and couldn't find the trail, and this was before any of us had cell phones. While we were working our way back up without a trail, my sister fell and cut her knee open. Once we got to the top we flagged down a park ranger who got us back to our car, and then we had to drive to the emergency room to get her stitches. We were pretty experienced hikers with many tough and long hikes under our belt, but hikes into canyons as opposed to up mountains can be particularly difficult as the hike back up is much tougher than hiking down.

[@dank.1256]

I liked the part when you made it down the trail to the Gunnison R., Spectacular! You made it back up to the top in one hour because you are in exceptionally good physical condition. Great video.

[@MaisleyVanGo]

We didn't know Black Canyon NP existed until we were in the area this August during our 9 month excursion thru the west (almost every place you've filmed this year we had visited 2 wks - 1month earlier). It was absolutely mesmerizing. We were only able to see the south rim so love that you gave us views of the bottom and north rim. Your videos are spectacular-- footage, editing, narrating--everything! I enjoy them so much.

[@MaisleyVanGo]

Oh...also reminded me to see if you had done a video at Hells Canyon. We would've liked to visit that too

[@SUVRVing]

Hells Canyon is definitely on my list, but I haven't made it out there yet. And thanks, I'm glad you like the videos!

[@timmccaffery4826]

Cool vid! Thank you! Great that you had a peaceful experience!

[@StanParker99]

Living in Montrose for several years, about fifteen miles from Black Canyon, I visited the park many times, both north and south rim. For people like me, who cannot hike to the bottom, there is one road where one can drive to the bottom. It is an interesting and scenic drive, and there are campsites near the river. I've seen grouse, deer and bears along the way, and the park service says mountain lions also live there (but they don't show themselves). I've also been to Eagle Rock, back when it was still an active dig. Grand Mesa is impressive, especially in the Fall or in the Winter for cross-county skiing and snowmobiling. There are other great canyons nearby.

[@SUVRVing]

I would like to drive that road at some point. And yep, it's a great area! You were lucky to live there.

[@amycrothers6648]

Boy did that bring back memories .. did the south side so when you pointed over that way that's where we were at about 30 years ago! Doing the hike down to the bottom was great! And when you panned the area from the cliff I did not get vertigo this time .. LOL

[@sandramain9571]

I enjoyed your video! What a spectacular canyon!

[@MsCycleguy]

As I recall from my visit years ago there was a large dam on that river which regulated the flow. Not sure that was included in the National park land but it may have been. Thanks for showing us the depth of the canyon from the very bottom. Very impressive!

[@rodneyreinhardt1312]

There is a large dam., Crystal Dam. My dad worked for the Bureau of Reclamation on it. The workers had to drive down a very steep switchback road everyday to go to work. I was down there several times with him. It was an intense drive. Love the Black Canyon. Still consider that area home.

[@Warjacki]

I visited the south side of Black Canyon of the Gunnison in 2015. Hiked the Oak Flat Trail, a 2-mile loop that didn't require a permit (but going below it did) and went to about 6 viewpoints on the south rim.

[@deborahm6036]

Really striking terrain. Another outstanding video.

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Deborah!

[@geraldkoth654]

The Black Canyon is very unique because of the very narrow slot with extremely steep and high walls. About 80 miles north is the Colorado National Monument Near Fruita. The rimrock drive is 27 miles of grand vistas and unique rock formations.

[@RicG.]

When watching your videos and see you climb up or down away from the camera, I think about how much a pain in the butt it has to be to retrace your steps to go get the camera. 👀

[@SUVRVing]

Eh, it's not too bad. I don't mind it because I know the end shot will be worth it.

[@ChipChoc00]

Thanks again for taking us with you.

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks for watching!

[@keithh63]

You can drive down to the bottom from the south rim. Turn right at the entrance station. No trailers or long vehicles allowed and very curvey. Also, Black Canyon is an International Dark Sky Park. We went up to the South Rim Visitor Center at night and it was unbelievable! Watch the road for deer on the drive.

[@DeanJohnson67]

Another great adventure. Adding this NP to my must visit at least for a day and night.

[@BushcraftNFun]

You don't realize the scale of it until you take a video of you standing beside it. Don't think I could stand that close to the edge tho. beautiful to see.

[@SUVRVing]

Nope, I didn't. But you're right, you'd definitely want to be aware of what the weather is doing. Thanks for watching.

[@MaxZomboni]

My favorite place in Colorado. I was there in 1976 and again in 1998. The North Rim both times. If I ever get back to that part of Colorado again I will probably see it a third time. If I recall right the sign boards say that at the narrowest part you can shout back and forth to people on the opposite rim, but if you want to drive over there it's more than a 100 mile drive.

[@SUVRVing]

I believe that shouting part!

[@MaxZomboni]

​@@SUVRVing It looks like they no longer make the 100 mile claim. Maybe the roads have been shortened, or maybe somebody fact checked them. Still though, I come up with an 84 mile drive. A pretty impressive long drive for a distance that can be shouted across. Another interesting fact in 1882 the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad sent a 12 man crew into the canyon to survey a rail route. Eight of the 12 quit as soon as they realized what they were getting themselves into. The other four completed the survey and concluded that no way in hell was a railroad ever going to go through that canyon.

[@conservativejones3537]

When a younger man, my newly married wife and I hike to the bottom and spent the night. At that time, the bottom of the canyon trail made use of chain which allowed a "soft" rappel into the bottom. The next morning, we began the long and brutal climb out....

[@brianlanders5306]

I don't know who's the better hiker, Tristan or Wonderhussy, but I think Tristan is the best where danger is involved, that looked exactly as you stated it when you looked over the edge, it was a vertical, straight down drop. A plumbbob with a camera on the end would've given a better perspective. It's hard to find that much rope unless you go to a farm supply store and got bailing rope. Great video, you should do a collaboration with Wonderhussy, the two best hikers I've ever seen.

[@Kai77-24]

Woah! That's so incred. Dad's gonna love this one. He rants about all your vids, though. :) I think my fave parts were the views from the "belly of the black" and the drone footage on that badlands looking road. Nice filmwork, great fun facts. We appreciate the effort you put into all of it. Have a great and Happy Thanksgiving.
