Vail is a popular travel destination for tourists and road trip enthusiasts alike. This charming little town sits at the base of Vail Mountain and is nestled within the White River National Forest- less than two hours away from Denver, CO.

The Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park is well worth the five-hour drive from Denver International Airport. This road trip destination offers breathtaking views and unforgettable experiences. The Black Canyon is a geological wonder that has been sculpted by the elements for millions of years, resulting in a chasm that drops more than 2,500 feet between the rising cliff sides on either side.
Whether you and your road trip companions prefer a calm nature walk along the rim or a thrilling experience for the advanced hikers, you’ll find both at the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park.
