Traffic was stopped on Colorado Route 62 on our way to Montrose, CO and Black Canyon. There had apparently been some sort of accident as there was a helicopter in the field and we saw them loading a patient on a gurney. Shortly after, the traffic was waived thru.

| We had lunch at Lizard Head Pass, 10,200 ft. elevation. |
We stayed at an RV park in Montrose, CO, about 10 miles to the Park entrance, then the road climbs from the town elevation of about 5600 feet, to the park rim closer to 8600 ft. We took the rim road to the end, then hiked 1 1/2 hrs. to a lookout with great scenery. After the rim drive, we took a road down to the canyon bottom for a look up. This road is restricted to vehicles under 22 ft. long. Our truck is just under 22 ft., so we were good to go. Follows are images from our day in Black Canyon.
