Travel Haiku - Curecanti National Recreation Area (Colorado) Poem by john tiong chunghoo

Curecanti National Recreational Area
we return each
a fresh new person

each of us return
fresh as water in the creek
Curecanti holidays

lost in all the fun
Curecanti National
Recreation Area

With three distinct reservoirs on the Gunnison River, Curecanti National Recreation Area provides the opportunity for everyone—experienced kayakers and the whole family alike—to enjoy Colorado's waters. Take a 1.5-hour boat tour of the Morrow Point Reservoir through the upper Black Canyon. Adventurous visitors can follow the Mesa Creek Trail to Crystal Reservoir and kayak or canoe the tricky waters. In late summer, head to the 20-mile-long Blue Mesa Reservoir to swim, water ski, and explore secluded canyons and 96 miles of shoreline.
