The South Rim Visitor Center is at Gunnison Point. A short walk will take you to the overlooks. From here the <a href="https://www.nps.gov/blca/planyourvisit/hikingtrails.htm">Rim Rock Trail</a> heads to the South Rim Campground, and the <a href="https://www.nps.gov/blca/planyourvisit/hikingtrails.htm">Oak Flat Trail</a> takes you on a loop below the canyon rim. The short walk to the overlook is on an unpaved trail.

Gunnison Point Overlook

The last overlook on the South Rim Drive and the trailhead for the Warner Point Nature Trail.

High Point Overlook

The overlook is adjacent to the parking area and very little walking is required to see the canyon. Park here to hike the Deadhorse Trail. The trailhead is just east of the parking area.

The ranger station is open intermittently during the summer. A self-pay station is available for the park entrance fee, and a self-registration board is available for wilderness permits if the ranger station is closed. Park information is posted outside the building. This is the trailhead for the North Vista Trail, which goes to Exclamation Point and Green Mountain. Closed in winter.

North Rim Ranger Station

Tomichi Overlook is the first overlook on the South Rim Drive. The <a href="https://www.nps.gov/blca/planyourvisit/hikingtrails.htm">Rim Rock Trail</a> passes under the overlook, connecting the South Rim Campground to the Visitor Center. This overlook is wheelchair accessible.

Big enough to be overwhelming, still intimate enough to feel the pulse of time, Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park exposes you to some of the steepest cliffs, oldest rock, and craggiest spires in North America. With two million years to work, the Gunnison River, along with the forces of weathering, has sculpted this vertical wilderness of rock, water, and sky.
