4. Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park

There are four different national parks in the state. While they’re all unique, the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park is a consistent favorite stop of travel bloggers. It’s near Gunnison and Montrose.

The black mountains that wall in this narrow gorge are unreal. Don’t miss the Painted Wall either. It is named thusly after the detailed white-pink markings that span the 2,300-foot-tall cliff. It’s the state’s official highest vertical rock wall.

 

5. The Popular Million Dollar Highway

There are many great places to stop in the southwestern part of Colorado. Luckily, the Million Dollar Highway crosses a lot of them. Driving on this highway you’ll discover many Instagrammable sights.

It’s a winding road with hairpin turns but is less than 25 miles in length. Stop as often as you choose. See ancient hot springs, the historic mining town of Silverton, the Box Canyon waterfall, and the ghost town of Animas Forks!
