Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park is a United States National Park located in western Colorado, and managed by the National Park Service. There are Three entrances to the park; the more-developed east entrance located 37 miles (59 km)east of Montrose and just west of Blue Mesa Reservoir by Blue Mesa Point, the south rim entrance is located 15 miles (24 km) east of Montrose, while the north rim entrance is located 11 miles (18 km) south of Crawford and is closed in the winter. The park contains 12 miles (19 km) of the 48-mile (77 km) long canyon of the Gunnison river. The national park itself contains the deepest and most dramatic section of the canyon, but the canyon continues upstream into the Curecanti National Recreation Area and downstream into the Gunnison Gorge National Conservation Area.
Der Black-Canyon-of-the-Gunnison-Nationalpark liegt im Westen Colorados. Er schützt den zentralen Teil der Schlucht des Gunnison Rivers, einem Zufluss des Colorado River, die aufgrund des harten Gesteins außergewöhnlich steil ist. Flussaufwärts schließt sich das Curecanti National Recreation Area an, ein National Recreation Area (Erholungsgebiet von Nationaler Bedeutung), in dem der Fluss zu einem Stausee mit starker Erholungsnutzung aufgestaut ist.
Die beiden Ränder der Schlucht sind im Schutzgebiet nicht miteinander verbunden, die meisten Besucher nutzen nur den Südrand. Es gibt zwei Parkeingänge. Der Südeingang liegt 23 km östlich von Mo
