Recent family vacation

We recently took a lovely camping trip to Colorado, just east of Montrose, CO. Montrose is about 60 miles south of Grand Junction. We went to Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, http://www.nps.gov/blca/. It was spectacular! We were there for 5 days. We left on Sunday June 24th and came home on June 29th. We pulled our camper trailer and met my Mom, Dad and my Nephew Kai at the South Rim Campground. We stayed at site 16B. It was a nice campground, very quiet. Mostly small oak trees, but pretty nice shade. We had to pull in the wrong way on the one way loop because of how our site was laid out. At first we were kind of iffy on the site because it was literally right on the loop of the road, but it turned out to be very nice. It was a primitive site with no water or sewer hookups, but it did have electricity, which was nice because it was 90+ each day so we ran the A/C. They had vault toilets, so we used those for #2, and the trailer for #1 :-). We hiked everyday and it was gorgeous! The gorge is 2,000 ft. deep. An interesting fact is that the Gunnison River through Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park drops at an average of 95 feet per mile. By comparison, the Colorado River through Grand Canyon National Park drops an average of 7.5 feet per mile. There is a South side and a North side. It take 1.5 hours to drive to the North side because you have to go around. There is no bridge. On Thursday we did just that. It was very pretty on the North side. I would recommend the drive. In the end we spent some quality time with Mom and Dad and Kai. Kai rode home to Salt Lake with us. It was a great trip!
