Emerald Cave of the Black Canyon

Exploring Caves near Montrose

One less known activity is exploring the Caves near Montrose in the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park.  These mysterious caves offer an adventure into the depths of this unique landscape hidden beneath the surface. They reveal ancient geological formations that have captivated explorers for centuries. The park’s geology, characterized by some of the oldest rock in North America, sets it apart from other canyons. The Black Canyon was forged over millions of years by the erosive forces of the Gunnison River, creating its steep, rugged walls.

While some caves are easily accessible, others require a hike or climb, making the exploration even more thrilling. Other caves require a small boat or kayak to view. It is recommended that visitors be prepared for a hike or climb and to use caution when exploring. Guided tours are available and provide valuable insights into the geological history and ensure a safe experience. Whether you’re an adventure seeker or a nature enthusiast, the caves of Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park offer a glimpse into the natural wonders that make this park truly unique.
