June+23+Black+Canyon+Day

Marathon Day! The end goal was grasping the connections between changes in landforms from Gunnison area to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. And, to marvel in the breath-taking beauty of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. I am appreciating more and more the depth and breadth of the geologic history. The ride was broken up with stops that traced rock development, comments that reflected the beauty of the land, and silly puns using geology terms. Lots of laughter and finally, just plain tired. Our minds are quite full, but too, we catch John's infectious enthusiasm for the land and geology.
