If you get a little dizzy looking into this canyon, you're not alone. This is the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, part of a national park with the same name. The steep cliffs and narrow river bed mean that little sunshine makes its way to the bottom of the canyon, giving it its name.
The park is well worth a visit if you're traveling to Colorado. Here's a link for more information.
I hope you enjoyed this month's posts and that you agree with me that autumn in Wyoming is a season to delight anyone who enjoys natural beauty.
This is what early fall looks like near Ayres Natural Bridge.
This scene, which never fails to delight me, was taken in the Snowy Range, part of the Medicine Bow National Forest west of Laramie.
Does the picture look familiar to you? That might be because it was used for the cover of Brides of the Old West.
Oranges, yellows, and reds as well as a few lingering green trees provide splashes of color and remind me of the variety of vegetation that covers the sagebrush prairie. It's a subtle beauty but one that fills my heart with joy.
