  • The fast-moving Gunnison River carves a deep gorge in the rock at Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park in Colorado. Near this point, the Gunnison River drops 240 feet per mile (45 m/km), causing it to gain speed and strength to erode tougher rock. The Gunnison River drops more within the national park than the Mississippi River does between Minnesota and the Gulf of Mexico.

  • Fall colors line the bluff at Tomichi Point, high above the Gunnison River in Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, Colorado. The gorge is the steepest in North America, dropping 2,772 feet (845 meters) at one point. It's called the Black Canyon because it's so steep in places that light doesn't reach the bottom.

  • The sun rises over Tenderfoot Mountain, a 8625 foot (2629 meter) peak in Gunnison, Colorado. Two taller mountains in Gunnison County are visible on the horizon. At center is Quartz Dome, which is 11299 feet (3444 meters) tall. At right is Lookout Mountain, which is 11099 feet (3383 meters) tall.

  • A red fox (Vulpes vulpes) rests in a field near Ohio Creek in the Gunnison National Forest in Colorado. Red foxes are typically found in remote, forested hilly areas near marshes and streams. The red fox has an especially wide range. It's native to most of United States and Canada, Europe, North Africa, and nearly all of Asia, including Japan.

  • Pegmatite, a light-colored granite, forms bright stripes on the otherwise dark walls of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison in Colorado. These stripes were found on the Painted Wall, an especially dramatic part of the national park and the highest cliff in all of Colorado. Pegmatite is the result of especially water-rich magma, which is the last to cool and harden. Because it remains fluid longer, it is able to squeeze into cracks in rocks, resulting in the light-colored lines here.

  • A northern plateau lizard (Sceloporus undulates elongatus) blends in with the rocks along the rim of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison in Colorado. The northern plateau lizard, which lives in rock outcrops and canyon walls, feeds on grasshoppers, crickets, leaf hoppers, flying ants, moths and other insects.

  • Ruby Peak (left) and Mount Owen are reflected in Lake Irwin, located near Crested Butte, Colorado, at sunrise. Located in Gunnison County, Ruby Peak has an elevation of 12641 feet (3853 meters); Mount Owen is slightly taller with an elevation of 13058 feet (3980 meters). Lake Irwrin, also known as Lake Brennand, was formed in 1963 with the completion of the Lake Brennand Dam.
