Thank you for your interest in Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park and Curecanti National Recreation Area! We are excited to announce that the Education and Outreach program is being restructured to better serve schools and visiting groups. Ranger-guided field trips for 4th grade students are anticipated to return in the spring of 2024 on a first-come, first-served basis. This webpage will be updated when the program is ready to accept reservations. We appreciate everyone’s patience during this time of change, and we look forward to working with you and your students soon!

In the meantime, check out our self-guided field trip resources. If planning a field trip to Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, schools may apply for an Academic Fee Waiver for park entrance fees.
