Hike Uplands Trail - South Rim
Black Canyon Of The Gunnison National Park
This .9-mile (1.4 km) trail links the Rim Rock Trail (near the campground) to the upper Oak Flat Loop Trail near the South Rim Visitor Center.
An early morning or late evening walk on the Uplands Trail provides a chance to glimpse wildlife when they are most active. Although the trail is not near the canyon rim, watch for mammals and birds (or at least their tracks) and views of the West Elk Mountains. Upland vegetation such as Gambel oak, Utah serviceberry, big sage brush, and wildflowers make up the habitat along this hike. Pets are not allowed. Distance (one-way): .9 mile (1.4 km) Difficulty: Moderate
