Cedar Point Nature Trail is a short nature path that overlooks the Gunnison River and its gorge. Offering a picturesque and tranquil getaway for walkers, the trail passes a range of wildlife and natural treasures. Marvel at the incredible vista of the river and the Black Canyon of the Gunnison from this rocky vantage point. As you walk along the path, read the various interpretive signs that explain the local ecosystem. Learn about the Utah juniper and other local trees and plants. The dwarf oak that drops its acorns across the park was an important food supply for indigenous people. Sagebrush, mountain mahogany and serviceberry also make up the vegetation here. The path is short and accessible, appropriate for the entire family. Take care not to slip, however, as the sides of the trail are steep and a fall could be dangerous. Reach two overlooks at the end of the trail that provide unobstructed views of the Painted Wall. This iconic sight is the tallest cliff in Colorado. The various colored strips on its surface look as though they were painted by a brush. Arrive at sunset to see the colorful hues of the rock face stand out. Note that the trail is most accessible from March through October, before it is covered in a thick layer of snow. It runs for just 0.6 mile (1 kilometer) and is fairly well trafficked. Arrive early in the morning to have the trail to yourself. For safety, park regulations require that you keep your backpacks close and do not feed the bears or other wildlife. Cedar Point Nature Trail is just south of the Gunnison River in Montrose County. It is in the center of Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park in the southwestern corner of Colorado. While you’re in the area, consider visiting other surrounding sites such as Grizzly Ridge, Poison Spring Hill and the South Rim Visitor Center. ### Popular places to visit ![Chasm View Nature Trail](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248635922700442/80939ea9-0dd6-4b96-92ed-660e5dc3f44a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Chasm View Nature Trail These observation decks provide unforgettable views of rugged cliffs across the peak of one of the valley’s narrowest and deepest canyons.
