"Snowfall adds another dimension to the vertigo-inducing depths, and from December through March you can ski or snowshoe the six-mile South Rim Drive for a bird’s-eye view of the Gunnison River nearly 3,000 feet below. Join a ranger-guided snowshoe walk to get free use of shoes, or rent or purchase them locally." - Sarah L. Stewart Sarah L. Stewart Sarah L.
