Drive South Rim Drive, Gunnison National Park, Colorado

Add to My List Check Off

Scenic Drives within the National Park provide a particularly enjoyable experience. The South Rim Drive is 7 miles from Tomichi Point to High Point sporting 12 distinct overlooks. Most are reached by walking a short trail from a turnout. Allow 2-3 hours to allow for viewing from several of the overlooks. Those with limited time should consider stopping at Gunnison Point, Chasm View, Painted Wall and Sunset View. A good starting point is the South Rim Visitor Center, which features exhibits on the canyon located at Gunnison Point. The visitor center is open daily throughout the summer and most days of the week the rest of the year. The South Rim Road beyond Gunnison Point is closed to vehicles in winter.
