9/6/16 - Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, CO

This morning we drove the South Rim Road in the park.  We stopped at all of the overlooks and hiked the trails and it gave me 13,575 steps.  The views at all of these overlooks were fantastic. The canyon is very deep and has steep walls.  The canyon isn’t as wide as the Grand Canyon but I think it is prettier.  Jim lost the door to the battery compartment on his big camera.  We thought we were going to have to hike on one of the overlooks again to look for it.  He knew which overlook he would have lost it at.  When we went back, someone had found it and placed it on the sign pole at the beginning of the hike.  After we finished the drive we went to Colorado Boy Pizza and Brewery and Two Rascals Brewing in Montrose.  Then we made quick stops at WalMart and City Market.  The sunset was pretty tonigh and I got a picture of the crescent moon with the sunset.
