Wyatt and I recently had an amazing adventure in Colorado, where we spent the weekend at Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park before driving into the charming town of Ouray. This area of Colorado is well-known for its stunning natural beauty and is a top destination for outdoor enthusiasts looking to explore the great outdoors.

Located in western Colorado, Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park is a natural wonder that is not to be missed. The park features stunning, sheer black cliffs that tower over the Gunnison River, creating a dramatic and breathtaking landscape. Visitors to the park can enjoy a variety of activities, including hiking, fishing, camping, and rock climbing.

After a few days spent hiking and exploring the park, Wyatt and I drove into the town of Ouray, which is known as the "Switzerland of America" for its beautiful alpine scenery and charming atmosphere. The town is nestled in a valley surrounded by towering peaks and is home to a variety of outdoor recreation opportunities, such as hiking, mountain biking, and hot springs soaking.

One of the highlights of our trip was taking a dip in one of the town's hot springs, which was the perfect way to relax and unwind after a few days of hiking. We also enjoyed exploring the town's historic district, which is full of picturesque Victorian-era buildings and quaint shops and restaurants.

Overall, our weekend in Colorado was an unforgettable adventure that allowed us to experience some of the best that the state has to offer. From the rugged beauty of Black Canyon of the Gunnison to the charming town of Ouray, we fell in love with this spectacular corner of the country and cannot wait to return.
