The Colorado State Patrol has been called to help evacuate the campgrounds at the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Forest Area.

Two separate wildfires burned on both rims of the Black Canyon at Gunnison National Park on Thursday. Visitors and staff were evacuated, while the park closed to any incoming guests until further notice.

Wildfires shut down the North Rim of the Grand Canyon in Arizona and Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park in Colorado.
