Gunnison River inner gorge Black Canyon NP Ceramic Art Tile
$22.00
The deepest reach of Black Canyon, where the Gunnison River runs hard through walls of 1.7-billion-year-old gneiss and schist. In some stretches the sun touches the water for barely half an hour a day. The river drops 95 feet for every mile of the park's fourteen, one of the steepest river gradients on the continent. Reaching the gorge floor takes an unmaintained route and a wilderness permit. Most who come back talk about the silence more than the climb.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
