National Parks Are Reopened. Here’s Where to Go to Avoid the Crowds | Eater

"A dramatic Colorado park prized for its narrow, steep-walled canyon that keeps much of the floor in shadow, providing striking vantage points along both north and south rims and trails that can plunge to the river below for adventurous hikers; visitors are advised to allow multiple days to explore both sides, with Montrose serving as the primary southern entry point." - Matt Kirouac
