Oak Flat Trail

This trail, ending at the visitors center in the park, winds through forest while allowing glimpses into Black Canyon.

Reviewed By OSU_Fan1967 - Dublin, United States

Nice, fairly easy and short hike off the back of the Visitor Center area. We actually hiked the trail clockwise and enjoyed it. The views are great and the trail gives you a taste of what the inner canyon has to offer.

East Portal Road

Reviewed By houstonnative47 - Missouri City, United States

We did not hesitate to drive the rent car down this road to the bottom of the canyon. It is a steep grade but it's not that bad. When you arrive at the bottom, you see the Gunnison River and a picnic area. We drove along the river for quite ways looking for the perfect place to stop for lunch. The river had some rapids here and there and just a different view of the canyon walls above.
