Grand Mesa Scenic Byway &
Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park
 Enjoy a playground of lakes, alpine meadows and hiking and biking trails on the world's largest flattop mountain, just above the Grand Valley. From I-70, the Byway climbs through picturesque Plateau Creek canyon to cool evergreen forests 11,000 feet above sea level. Cast a line for rainbow, cutthroat, and brook trout in more than 200 lakes on the Grand Mesa. The Black Canyon of the Gunnison is awe-inspiring in its scope, yet very approachable for viewing sheer rock walls and the Gunnison River coursing far below.
