Colorado River Glenwood Canyon Ceramic Art Tile

The Colorado River through Glenwood Canyon. The river is older than every road in the West, and the most recent road took twelve years to build because the engineers kept refusing to cut the canyon to fit the highway. I-70 runs on elevated viaducts above the water, climbs into a tunnel, then returns. Rafters know where the Shoshone Rapid pulls hard against the south wall. A paved bike path runs the north bank for sixteen miles, between Glenwood Springs and Dotsero. The canyon's lower walls are Precambrian gneiss, close to two billion years old, older than almost any rock visible from a road in the country.
