Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, Colorado - USA

The Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park is located in western Colorado.
The Black Canyon is a deep gorge carved by the Gunnison River. It is so small that only little sunlight reaches
the ground  and the walls look therefore dark grey to black At Chasm Overlook the depth is 1,820 ft (555 m)
at only 1,100 ft (345 m) between both Rims of the Canyon, at Warner Point the depth is 2,722 ft (829 m).

Der Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park liegt im westlichen Colorado.
Der Black Canyon ist eine tiefe Schlucht, durch die der Gunnison River fließt. Er ist so schmal, dass nur sehr
wenig Sonnenlicht bis auf den Grund fällt, was die Wände dunkelgrau bis schwarz erscheinen lässt.
Am Chasm Overlook-Aussichtspunkt erreicht er eine Tiefe von 1,820 ft (555 m) bei nur 1,100 ft (345 m)
zwischen den oberen Rändern der Schlucht, am Warner Point ist die Schlucht 2,722 ft (829 m) tief.
