16: Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park: Deep, Steep, & Narrow

Today, we’re heading to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park in Colorful Colorado.  This episode explores the geological history of Black Canyon, its flora and fauna, the process of creating the Gunnison Tunnel, recreational activities available, the indigenous peoples who lived in the region, and some information about how we spent our time there.  We also talk about the Junior Ranger Program and leave you with an activity to complete.

Junior Rangers are explorers, learning all about the park’s ecosystems, plants and animals, and how to protect nature.  The Junior Ranger program is not just for kids; it's for the young, and the young at heart!
