Gunnison Point Overlook is located directly behind the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park visitor center.
You can see the overlook from the visitor center.
Along the short walk, mica flakes in the rocks sparkle in the sunlight.

This was probably our favorite overlook in Black Canyon. We hit is just as the sun was setting, and it was amazing.
