Drove the south Rim Drive. Gunnison Point, Pulpit Rock Overlook, Chasm View and Painted Wall View were awesome. This place became a national park in 1999.
Headed for Gunnison after lunch as Amy has a flight out at 5. Beautiful drive. Blue Mesa Reservoir is huge. Quite a few campgrounds in the national forest along the way. Went to a really good ranger program in the evening. Gave the park history and talked about bears. Made a campfire to warm up and Aiden roasted us marshmellows.
